Streamer fishing for Big Browns during a low pressure system during the summer months.
Unlike streamer fishing in the fall and winter for browns, or spring streamer fishing for Bows, a low pressure summer day can trump every other streamer scenario out there. I will admit that if you know where big Browns stage to spawn, especially if they are running up out of a reservoir, you are going to catch a few huge Brown Trout. However, when you experience one of those rare summer days when a low pressure system sets in and there is little wind to contend with and Brown Trout live where you happen to be fishing, you better throw a streamer, it does not even really matter which one just throw it. Comb every nook and cranny you can find on the banks and cover lots of water fishing the inside slow flats. Strip your streamer fast and aggressive with 4 foot strips. Browns will be on the prowl. Browns typically feed during the last two hours of light, especially the last 15 min. of light, but during a low pressure two important things happen.
- Browns will expose themselves more in cloud cover, they feel a sense of security so they are usually suspended.
- Browns feel the sense of urgency to feed, not sure exactly why but from years of experience I can tell you that they become very aggressive as do other trout during a settled steady low pressure system.
If you fish hard and aggressive you will catch a lot of fish if you follow this advice, sure mix it up a little, a little deeper, a tad slower, a tad faster, etc … do this and you will have success.
