FishBehavior

When anglers talk about reading water, they often think it means finding fish in lakes and streams. That’s part of it, but Gary Borger reminds us there’s more... Fish follow three simple rules that shape every move they make: save your butt, fill your gut, and have kids. Survival always comes first. When we understand that, we start to see the river through their eyes, think like predators, and approach each piece of water with more intention.
Not all lakes are created equal, especially when it comes to fishing. Understanding the different types of lakes and their unique characteristics can significantly impact your success as an angler.
Have you ever wondered why some anglers always seem to catch more fish than others? It often boils down to patience and a keen eye for detail. In fact, many expert anglers know that observing before acting can reveal subtle fish behaviors and environmental cues that are key to a successful catch.
