The wind has kept everyone on their toes, pushing anglers to focus on productive, windblown shorelines.
Big trout are on the move and beginning to feed heavily as they prepare to produce eggs and get ready for the spawn on Baffin Bay.
Water levels are exceptionally low this time of year, but low water concentrates both fish and fishermen. Soon, with the equinox, water levels will rise and usher in shrimp and other small bait—triggering an aggressive feeding period across the bay.
Look for active bait on grass lines or around potholes surrounded by healthy grass. These are prime ambush zones for trophy trout.
Use the wind to your advantage. Baitfish move with the wind, and big predators follow.
Good luck fishing this week!
