S7, Ep 95: Navigating the Bite: Ellis Ward's Guide to Catching Big Browns
Manage episode 517678873 series 2529488
Join Marvin Cash on The Articulate Fly fishing podcast for an East Tennessee Fishing Report with guide Ellis Ward, covering exceptional streamer fishing conditions on the South Holston River.
Ward breaks down the perfect storm of factors creating explosive brown trout action: pre-spawn behavior, shad kills from dissolved oxygen events and ideal atmospheric conditions that produced multiple fish over 20 inches in single sessions.
This fly fishing podcast delivers expert troubleshooting for anglers struggling with streamer refusals, as Ward addresses a detailed listener question about converting follows into hookups. Learn critical techniques for maintaining direct line contact, the importance of "kill" pauses in your retrieve and strategic fly placement near structure where predator-wary browns feel secure enough to eat. Ward explains why jerk stripping and shooting line sabotage hookups, how to adjust retrieve cadence for moody fish and when to dramatically change fly size to trigger strikes.
The episode covers post-shad kill windows, lake turnover impacts and prime January-February post-spawn streamer opportunities on Tennessee tailwaters.
