Fishing the Margins How to Find Big Trout in the Shallows
Most anglers row right past the best Stillwater water. In this episode, Greg reveals why the lake margins consistently hold big trout—and how to fish the shallows with confidence. Get the full breakdown and grab your free Stillwater resources at https://thestillwateredge.com
Most anglers overlook the margins—but that’s where the food is, and where trout naturally cruise. In this episode, Greg explains why the shallows are one of the most productive zones on any Stillwater and breaks down how to approach the edges with stealth and purpose.
You’ll learn when trout move shallow, the features that consistently hold fish, how wind and light influence margin activity, and the clean simple setups that excel in skinny water. This episode will help you rethink the shoreline and turn more edge water into fishable opportunity.
Key Topics:
• Why margins are prime Stillwater habitat
• When trout push into the shallows
• The role of weeds, insects, and structure
• Stealth, angle of attack, and boat control
• Fly line selection for skinny water
• Proven patterns for weed edges and drop offs
