10/26/24 "Storming the Shores"

And just like that, the water temperatures drop to 50-52ish and fish of all sizes are cruising the shoreline. You still want to concentrate on the deeper beaches and drop offs but some of the gradual beaches like North Nets are kicking out some nice fish. You will start to find more and more fish along the beaches in days to come with the cold fronts coming through.

Colton came out from CO with his brother Rayden and “these are not CO Trout” PFC GUIDE COLE HILDAHL

Rayden loving our “NV Trout”

Around shallow beaches, I would strip "retrieve" midnight cowboy or olive and grizzly woolie worms, tui chub streamers as well as fish tadpoles, boobies and beetles off of a tag line midway down your stripping leader or 4' behind your streamer. Tadpoles, Boobies and beetles are tied with a foam body or foam eye's which make them float. when you retrieve your flies, do you cadence of stripping in line and then pause and let that floating fly rise on the water column a bit and them continue you cadence strip. They like the pause, I call it my power bait retrieve -

A great feeling for a guide when you take a client out and the next day he uses that knowledge to get em’ on his own.

 It's been real hard to put down the indicator rod with balanced leaches and midges on it, 8'-12' below the indicator with 10-12lb Seagar Yellow label fluorocarbon leader. When you set up to cast. look and see which way the "current" is and present your offering with a drift that is as natural of drift as possible. Little "tricks" like these can be the difference between a great/good or slow day.
