 In my July 2025 my monthly column I wrote about targeting trophy trout, with lots of tips and tactics to help you be successful. This month I’ll go over my three favorite water types to locate these fish in early spring. April into early May is the most consistent time of the year to target wild trophy trout in the northeast. I am talking about Brown Trout over 20 inches, some much larger. As you get into Maine the same principles will apply to trophy Brook Trout. It took me years to figure out how and where to catch these rare fish, but once I figured out some secrets, putting these mega trout in the net something I’ve been able to consistently do during the early season.

 The first 2/3 of our Alaska expedition was marked by breathtaking scenery and complete solitude. We made our way through the rugged mountains and into the flat abyss of endless tundra. It was sad to see the mountains slip away, and even sadder when we saw our first people. As the land flattened the river did as well allowing guide boats, from a fishing lodge 30 miles down stream to navigate the river with small john boats and jet props.
 I was quite ready to leave bear central campsite. After the bear encounter the previous evening, my adrenaline levels were through the roof. It was kind of like shooting a big buck, focused when you shoot, followed by full body shakes when its over, except it took hours to come down.
