Landing a good trout is more about planning, quick thinking and good technique than luck. And in this episode, we talk about being ready for a big fish. With a little forethought and preparation, with even slight adjustments to body positioning, we put ourselves in the best position to show a picture of a lifetime rather than tell the story of another trout that got away.
-- The Fighting stance (a Galloup idea) — It’s an athletic position, centered, balanced and strong — Uses large muscle groups. compact and not extended — Ready to move and adjust — We’re also ready for the hook set from here — The “Orvis” pose -- Arm slot -- Position in the river — Where we put our body determines the kind of pressure we can put on the trout — Our job is to guide the trout into the places we want it to be. — Don’t be along for the ride. Be in control
