Fly Fishing the Ozarks - Late Summer Trout (Multiple Underwater Releases)

I spent the day on a favorite stretch of water on a late summer day and was able to land several nice fish. Leaves were just starting to fall off of trees and it wasn't too hot, but it was mostly clear blue skies and the water was low. So I tended to target the shaded areas I found as the day went on, and usually that is where I connected with them. I did find a large pod with some really nice fish in the middle of the stream in the direct sun. They were schooled up with some suckers, but after I caught a nice brown none of them seemed like they were interested in anything else I presented. They were very spooky most of the day. It was still a great day and I had the whole section of stream to myself.

That is a fantastic fishing spot. I'm in South-East PA and I feel like all the rivers around here are super muddy and slow. I am jealous of how clear that water looks.

It is pretty clear when it hasn’t rained for a bit, but I was also experimenting with a filter on my GoPro that was supposed to cut down glare. I think that added to the clarity. Thanks for watching!

Meramec River.. ?

[@FishFearMe]

Nope it was the Current, but I need to get back to the Meramec again and see how it’s changed!

The ‘Likes’ function doesn’t seem to work. What river are you on? I enjoyed your video.

Hey thanks a lot! This was the Current River.
