Chasing Big Browns with Streamers This Fall –

Fall is prime time for targeting aggressive, pre-spawn brown trout. As the water cools and fish start moving upstream, streamers become the go-to. Larger patterns mimic baitfish and provoke reaction strikes from big browns looking to fatten up before the spawn.

    Tips:

  • Use varies sinking lines to get where the big fish are hiding.
  • Vary your retrieves—start slow, then mix in some quick strips to trigger an attack.
  • Target deep pools and undercut banks where browns stage before moving into shallow riffles.
  • Keep changing streamer colors until you find what they want.
