What is a blowdown?


Go to solution Solved by Fishlegs,

Recommended Posts

I listen to a lot of podcasts and do a fair amount of reading. I keep seeing and hearing about fishing blowdowns but no explanation of what that is. I’ve been taking a beating trying to catch smallies and largemouth in northern Indiana this year so I’m looking for information on what I may be missing or just new things/ techniques all together.

That typically means a tree that has fallen into the water. They make good places for fish to hang out.

 

Here's a link to a thread from a while back with some discussion about how to approach them.

Ah I thought they were referring to wind blown points or something like that. I fish down trees a lot on the river with varing success.

Like @Fishlegs said, it’s a tree blown down into the water.

 

Click on the menu (green button top left corner by the Bass Resource logo) then click on Tools. There’s a glossary in there and some other things you might find helpful. Blowdown is missing from the list, but there are some other words you might be wondering about. If that list covered just the words used on this site, it would be huge. And lots of people use different words to say the same thing. Laydown is one phrase I’ve heard used for blowdown.

Blow down is a tree / wood and the very best largemouth cover where I fish.
