⚠️ A Word on Spawning Ethics: Fall means brown trout spawn, and it’s critical to respect spawning fish and protect redds. In this video, we discuss how to identify spawning behavior (paired fish, flashing, digging redds) and the importance of avoiding direct targeting of these vulnerable fish. We can all do our part to keep this fishery thriving for generations.
