Brown Trout fishing at Øvre Hølen
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 25 ft. Summer is a 8 to 26 ft game here, winter a 4 to 26 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 20 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.
