Video: Gary LaFontaine on Fishing Big Freestone Rivers

August 28, 2008 By: Marshall Cutchin

New on MidCurrent, Gary LaFontaine talks about strategies for fishing big freestone rivers, reminding us that it’s not always obvious where the fish or how to catch them. “The middle of the river will hold fish, but you should never ignore the current flows along the edges and the associated pocket water. The side channels, with slower flows, sometimes provide fish with easier meals and a place to rest. They’re always worth at least a quick exploration. There are times when large fish actually congregate in places like this, so always be ready.”
