 Frying Pan River: Winter Nymphing For Tailwater Rainbows
Posted by joey on Tuesday, February 07 @ 09:22:44 PST
When fishing tail water rivers I learned that the smaller the better. The water is often gin clear and the fish are extremely picky. I prefer to nymph fish and when fishing tail waters I use an 11 foot 6x flouro corbon leader. My first fly is usually something that will attract a fish, like an egg or a mysis shrimp size 18-20. My second fly will usually be a midge size 22-24. Since the water is so clear using a tin split shot is out of the question. I use the egg shots that come in green or black. That way your shot looks like a piece of gravel floating down stream. Getting a slow drift and a good presentation will be your best chance in landed a monster tailwater rainbow.

by hedrush999 on Tuesday, February 07 @ 09:29:27 PST | | The rigs used for fishing the Frying Pan River seem similar to the rigs used on the Yampa River. I like to nymph with this rig using an indicator. I believe indicator fishing will allow you to more easily detect subtle strikes from rainbow and brown trout. |

Re: Frying Pan River: Winter Nymphing For Tailwater Rainbows
by jason-c on Wednesday, February 08 @ 08:09:55 PST http://www.fliesandfinswest.com | | When I first fished the Frying Pan I was told by a shop that the fish were indicator shy. I spent half the day trying to "zen nymph fish". After not hooking a thing, I put an indicator on and slayed fish all day. Did you guys have any problems with indicators spooking fish? |
