This Month: Here Are Ken’s Top Tips For Catching August Trout
August can give outdoors folks a case of the blahs with the heat haze on the horizon, muggy afternoons and sweltering weather, but life can be darned good for many.
Northern brook-trout ponds can have evening hatches, and bottom dredgers can do well in the day, bottom-banging 20 to 30 feet below the surface.
Brooks and small streams statewide have brookies and maybe browns hanging in deep spots or spring holes, concentrated targets for folks in the know.
Speaking of concentrated targets…. Trollers can find lake trout, landlocked salmon and brown trout now in deep portions of large ponds and lakes.
