Don’t rush after the rain—wait for trout

Had a big rain blow out my local river last week, and I made the usual mistake—rushed out right after thinking the trout would be hugging the banks. Nope. Nothing moved, no bites. Turns out, trout don’t shift right away after a spike—they hunker down mid-river where they were. It wasn’t until day 2 that they started sliding into the soft edges, and that’s when the action picked up. Now I always check the flow gauges and give the river time to settle. Anyone else crack the high water code? How do you time that post-rain bite window? #fishing #TroutFishing #HighWater #FishingTips
