In this video, I break down some of the things I’ve learned to avoid on the water and explain what I do differently now to give myself a better chance of finding, hooking, and landing trout.

These are all things I’ve dealt with myself, and a couple of them even came back to bite me on this trip.

The goal here is simple: spend less time overthinking, make better decisions on the water, and give yourself a better chance of catching more trout.

Stick around until the end for details on the net clip giveaway.

Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you out there.
