 Rocky Mountain Winter Fly Fishing: Stay On The Move
Posted by fliesandfinswest on Sunday, December 09 @ 17:07:59 PST
Winter has finally hit the west but that does not mean the fishing is over. Winter in Utah Idaho and Wyoming, and any other Rocky Mountain rivers for that matter, can be exceptional in the winter. The key is to stay on the move until you find fish. In many rivers the fish, particularly the browns tend to school up in specific spots during the winter. Could be a legacy of the spawn or it could be the type of water. Look for moderately deep (waist to chest) walking speed water. Slow your presentation down. Often you will not need as much weight as you would during the summer when fish are holding in fast, well oxygenated riffles. Don't be afraid to look for sneaky risers either. Midges are one of the biggest winter food sources for winter trout. When
it is cold fish just barely break the surface sipping on emerging midges. Winter also keeps the pressure down and during inclement weather angers will often find themselves all alone on the river.

Re: Rocky Mountain Winter Fly Fishing: Stay On The Move
by jeremy on Monday, December 10 @ 20:44:47 PST http://www.ineedasimplesolution.com | | good tips jason .. i learned about how succesful midges can be during winter out your way. last winter i made a trip to wyoming and i through all the typical scuds and that sort of stuff and .. no takers .. then i switched some sort of super small midge (well super small for us east coasters) size #22 ... i couldn't believe it .. i started hoofing fish left and right .. i can't remember the name of the midge .. but, it was something just kinda grey'ish .. no frills .. after all, how many "frills" could something the size of a pinhead have .. not much ... anyway, great tips for winter fishing out there .. will certainly apply on my next trip out .... hopefully though, my next trip will be during some warmer weather .. that would be nice .. but, i will take whatever i can get winter, fall, summer or spring .. thanks man. |
