Artist Duane Hada on Ozark Brown Trout

Some pretty cool photos here of Duane Hada’s home waters amidst the artist talking about techniques he uses for approaching big, smart browns. “Presenting a fly in aquarium-clear, moving water to a constantly vigilant fish is no easy task. An errant throw over the top of the target typically puts the angler back on the hunt for another fish. ‘When I am guiding someone who wants to do this kind of fishing, I emphasize to them that the first shot is possibly the only one you are going to get on a fish,’ Hada said.” Steve Brigman in the Springfield, Missouri News-Leader.
