Understanding Trout Water & How to Fish It | Signature Tyer Devin Olsen

Fulling Mill Fly Fishing: In this fly fishing video with Signature Tyer Devin Olsen we dive deep into understanding trout behaviour, and how that allows us to understand and read trout water. Throughout the video, Devin talks about things like water temperature and how it impacts trout feeding, current speed, water depth, bug activity, and even the differences between rainbow trout and brown trout in where and when they’re most likely to be feeding. On this particular day, the most bugs that were active were baetis, so they had the most effect on the trout’s behaviour. The goal of this video is to give anglers more tools to understand what trout do as the seasons change, and to help you better identify the part of the river they’ll be in and feeding. This will help anglers of all level focus their efforts on water that is more likely to hold trout, and thus find the fly patterns and fishing methods to catch them more quickly. Whether you’re euro nymphing, indicator nymphing, fishing dry dropper, or any other tactic, you’ll be able to adapt your presentation and the water you cover to get your flies in front of more fish.
