23: Brown Trout Myths and Misconceptions | Guest: The Doctor who lived with Brown Trout - Dr. Robert Bachman

The 90 years young Dr. Bob Bachman is well known for his Penn State four-year biological study of brown trout from a high-tech tree house on the limestone spring creek of Spruce Creek in Pennsylvania for his thesis paper. He knows them intimately and has fly fished for them and Atlantic salmon around the globe. In addition to his book authorships and fish commissioner of Pennsylvania and Maryland, he has pioneered and jump-started many wild trout fisheries in his tenure, along with his lecturing on them. He and brown trout book author and host: Matthew Supinski, delve deep into this 3-hour discussion of brown trout life survival strategies. The elusive, selective, adaptable, often predictable yet unpredictable natures, migratory and aggressive characteristics of the fish are discussed from a scientific and fisherman’s perspective and compared to other trout species. Many common myths, misconceptions, and basic misinformation about the fish and their daily lives are discussed in detail to help the angler better understand them and use it to improve their approach, fly selection, presentation, and timing for catching the brown trout of a lifetime. Don’t miss this one if you love fishing for browns and other trout in general. Spring creeks from Pennsylvania to the Driftless, to Montana, are discussed, along with the wild trout tailwaters and small freestone streams including the Delaware system and rivers throughout the world.
