Did you know that trout can’t blink? Trout are not equipped with eyelids, so therefore they are not capable of blinking. Knowing this can help you catch more trout during the dog days of summer when the sun is high and hot.
Because trout cannot blink or close their eyes trout need to shield themselves from the bright UV rays that the sun produces. To do This they either need to move to faster or deeper water to break up the light during the middle of the day.

Knowing this hot tip will increase your ability to catch trout during the hottest days of summer when most people are struggling to be successful
