Designer’s Angle | Brendan Petit on Patterning & Catching Trophy Wild Trout | Ep. 8

Joe Goodspeed sits down with Brendan Petit to talk about chasing big wild trout across Vermont, New York, and the Northeast.Brendan talks about seeking out marginal water that may hold fewer fish, but has the potential to produce the kind of trout he’s after. They get into putting in time on the same stretches of river, learning individual pools and where the better fish hold, and coming back under the right conditions to make the most of an opportunity when it finally presents itself.The conversation also gets into jig streamers and larger nymphs, how Brendan changes his approach throughout the seasons,, and why knowing a piece of water intimately can make all the difference when getting your hands on a trophy wild trout.
