S7, Ep 85: Navigating Delayed Harvest: Mac Brown's Insights on Fall Fishing Tactics
Manage episode 509948785 series 2529488
In this episode of The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash reconnects with guide Mac Brown for another Casting Angles segment focused on North Carolina's delayed harvest season.
With the first Saturday in October marking the start of DH fishing across Western North Carolina waters, Mac shares tactical insights for success throughout the fall and winter.
He explains how stocked trout behavior evolves rapidly—while "junk food" patterns work during the initial week, fish quickly become educated and demand more sophisticated presentations. Mac reveals his preferred approach: small dry flies (size 18-20) paired with wet fly droppers, which outperform the indicator rigs that 95% of anglers rely on.
He emphasizes egg patterns as consistently productive throughout winter as trout focus on spawning activity and recommends fishing them without suspension devices for direct contact.
The conversation covers why stocked fish look up due to hatchery feeding habits, the importance of natural presentation sink rates versus heavy tungsten beads and how to differentiate your tactics as fishing pressure increases.
Mac also announces his upcoming class and show schedule.
