What Flies Catch Big Trout?

from Troutbitten · host Domenick Swentosky

Sometimes, the goal is to catch the biggest trout in the river. In those times, what's the best fly to choose?In this conversation, we talk through big trout situations, and we focus on the flies. If you’re really targeting a big trout, when does a streamer seem like the best choice, and what qualities in that streamer help not just get a trout’s attention, but convince them to eat the fly?Likewise, when might a dry fly have the best chance at fooling a big fish? And when is a wet fly or nymph the best choice?Size, shape, weight, color, flash — whether it’s a dry fly, nymph, wet fly or streamer, what are the qualities of a pattern that we have confidence will interest bigger fish?My friends, Austin Dando, Dr. Trevor Smith, Bill Dell and Matt Grobe join me for a great conversation.ResourcesREAD: Troutbitten | Category | Big TroutPODCAST: Troutbitten | Why Do Some Rivers Hold Big Trout?
