LWP Stream team
Many of the properties that we list for sale have private trout water running through them. For those of you who fish, you know there is endless pleasure in rounding a stream bend and finding no one standing there; just you, the wildlife, the rippling water and the trout.
There are times when our agents are too busy to test the fisheries of our ranch offerings during multiple site visits with varying fishing, weather and seasonal conditions. Thus, in order to provide as much information to incoming buyers as possible we have offered "the job" to fishing guide Scott Smith. He is Live Water's Stream Team Captain.
Scott Smith and other Stream Team members are able to travel to certain properties and fish for the day. Reporting back, we hear about the stream conditions (water clarity, flow, and temperature), hatches encountered, fishing techniques and flies used, species, size and number of trout landed and released. We hope you will find their experiences and insights helpful.
