Justin Spencer Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Great pictures, had a great time as well. For those of you who have fished from a drift boat it is a great way to go. Unfortunately most of us don't have one, but there are plenty of guides who would love to take you. While I have caught many fish from a drift boat I have been on a nice run of big browns wading lately so don't feel you must have a boat to have success. Even when we fish from a boat we still stop and wade every good looking spot. The boats really come in handy when it is too high to wade safely. I am convinced almost every riffle on the NFOW hold trophy sized fish and in addition to the 23" brown I caught the other day here at the campground, the next time out caught a 19+" brown on my first cast (figured out they weren't as far out as I thought). Used this bit of lucky knowledge to fish a little different seam than usual and caught another small brown and a 17+" brown all within an hour (this in the depth I would normally be standing). I've always caught lots of good 15-16" fish in this riffle, but lately have been nailing some nice ones. It's always tempting to try and cast across the fast water to the other side, but you need to remind yourself that if you were on the other side you would probably be casting to where you are standing. I caught my last 3 fish with my back to the brush only out 10 feet from where I was standing, I learn something new everytime I fish!
