Brown Trout "Transition Fishing" - May & June!

The "Transition Period" occurs in May and June. Its the time frame when Brown Trout move from their shoreline haunts onto bait schools located in deeper/cooler waters. Targeting these fish requires the use of Down Riggers, Dipsey Divers and Weighted Planer Boards. In this video, Capt. Bill Saiff III takes a comprehensive look at utilizing all 3 techniques! The action is fast as the boys get bit in some tough sea conditions! Subscribe for more great tech videos ‪@BillSaiffOutdoors‬ right here on KZbin.

Hi B3, great tutorial on transition browns 👍👍. I was wondering if you had any tutorials posted on how to catch December lakers? I would like to give them a shot in the eastern basin on the Canadian side before the launches freeze up. Thanks

Hi Bill. I've been a fan of yours since the 90's when cabin country was on PBS here in Massachusetts. Have you ever thought of putting those old episodes on KZbin? Zachary Trost does this with his father's show Michigan outdoors. It would be great to see those episodes again. Cabin Country was a quality hunting program that wasn't trying to sell a thousand products. Thanks Bill.

I will look into that........ I did have an opportunity to film with Dad in September! We got some great KIngs and he did a nice job. I will be editing that video after the 1st of the year. Be watching for that one!
