Fishing TipsWading UpstreamTaking smaller steps ensures that holding fish do not get
spooked by the increased Timothy Kusherets
Wading upstream should be done in half steps. Whatever your normal gait while
wading straight and downriver is it should be cut in half when wading upstream.
Outwardly it is obvious that taking reduced steps is a safety precaution, but
there is another reason too. Taking smaller steps ensures that holding fish
do not get spooked by the increased wake created by your legs in the water.
Fish can sense the movements of fishermen using their lateral lines on the sides
of their bodies as they move back and forth (side to side). Increased sound
means that fish will be able to hear you better. Taking the time to take half-steps
will keep fish on the bite while not doing it will keep them off for hours on
end. A really cool trick with wading upstream is to side step rather than head
straight into the current. Side stepping literally hides one leg from the torrents
of rushing water, depending on the flow of the river or current, which can easily
be applied to saltwater fishing making this technique an effective application
everywhere. © Timothy Kusherets 2007 |
