        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. Interested in a afternoon streamer float trip this fall? Hit me up to book your spot and let’s chase those fall giants!
