RIVER INTELLIGENCE

Read the river.

A working read for live water, future windows, and the flies worth carrying.

Where do you want to go fishing?

START WITH A RIVER

Where do you want to fish? A river plus timing is enough to start; target and style will tighten the plan.

A field manual,
built one chapter at a time.

The stuff nobody tells you when you start, written plainly. Read on the drive up.

01Water

Read flow before you read flies.

Rising, falling, and steady water each change where fish sit and how fast your rig needs to get down.

Hatches are timing problems.

The right bug at the wrong hour is still the wrong fly. Use light, temperature, and rise forms to decide when to switch.

03Trips

Build the box around the first two hours.

A useful box starts with the water you will actually fish first, then keeps two clean adjustment paths ready.
