The great and powerful Dan Coledi guides Trout Farmer client Wilson into his first fly caught trout. Not a bad way to start!

Invest in your kids, because when it comes time for them to make a bank withdrawal, they can do it with Dry Flies.

Sight fishing to a specific fish is one of my favourite things to do.
Before you get knee deep in the water, take a long time, and a good look at what you’re stepping into. Train your eyes to pick up movement, shape, different shades of colour, and “out of place” shadow. You’re not going to get good at sighting fish, until you try to sight fish. Spend time working on the skill. Soon, the nuance of colour that differentiates itself from the bottom of the river, and that of a trout, will become more and more evident. Often, you’ll only be able to spot a tail, or fin, and then be able to follow it up to the fish proper. Observe how the fish operates; whether they are “race tracking” (when a fish moves upstream, feeding, then turns around to resume its circuit), or is stationary (holding, or actively feeding in one place). You’ll find that the more information you can gather, the better you’ll get at getting the fish to eat your offering. This also applies to how you go about presenting your flies from the boat, knowing more about how the fish are feeding, and where/how they are going about their business.

In the Guide community, we try to help each other out. Trout Farmer Guide did a trip for the famed and fantastic , and came up with a beautiful Brown trout. Dave and his crew are the real deal; great guides all. They walk the talk, and talk the walk. Dave is a FULLTIME Guide/Outfitter; for both birds and trout. He guides in three different countries. Legit.

Just a note on rods. If you haven’t had the chance to fish some of the Scott rods, you owe yourself to give them a try. Here’s why - They are FISHING rods. Too many rods perform well only at distance. Thus you have to overline them (some fly lines are even made heavier to account for this), or you fish them tighter with “less” feel. This, in turn, will make accuracy suffer. Unless you are fishing lakes or Salt, there are very few instances where you have to fish distances further than 40 feet. Why not get a rod that allows you maximum feel at “fishing” distances? The Scott Radian series has great line speed, tons of “feel”, and, as a bonus, are up there with the very best at distance. They can handle extra weight (in appropriate line class) to manage droppers and heavy streamers; even in the wind. It’s a great choice for Western rivers.
The G series from Scott is one of my favourites. Again, they are a slower more progressive action, that allows for extreme accuracy at fishing distances, and are a pleasure to cast. The 885 G is a standout.
When trying out a perspective rod at your fly shop, take a bunch out, and cast them at the distance at which you will be fishing. Your casting stroke (powerful, or relaxed), will help you choose which works best for you; but keep in mind how, what and where you’ll be using the rod. As you move up the food chain (in price), you’ll get fancier reel seats and uber technical guides etc. Ask yourself if this is important to you. It’s true that the premium rods may be better, but the incremental benefits might not be value added for you. The Flex series by Scott are GREAT rods, and what I use as “boat” rods for the majority of my clients. They are priced well, and are so close to the “premium” rods that lots of people prefer them; freeing up extra cash to go fishing (which in the end is the most important).
Remember that the vast majority of the rods available today are way more technologically advanced than any of the rods from years past. Thus, arguably, “better” on paper. But who cares? Fish what feels best to YOU, and what works best for your situations. Most importantly-The rod will NEVER make the angler.

Perspective on a little Brown: when taken out of context, it’s makes you see things differently. Same can be said about any subject. Deep thoughts with Trout Farmer.

This Brown made this Troutfarmer client very happy. Wonderful day well spent.

The Trout Farmer crew did some good work today. It’s wonderful to have a GREAT group of guides as close friends. They give it their all out there; smiling the whole time. They are the hardest working, most professional, and most funlovingest dudes to work with. I appreciate them deeply.

New Trout Farmer T Shirt! Brown Trout will want to be caught, just to hear you say “I let him go.” - And it’s appropriate when you’re going Commando. Cheers.
