Dude, I just bought my first rig after 7 months of research, got home, and have been worrying that I went with the wrong size leader for the nymphs I bought. You confirmed I didn’t. Subscribed.

I dry fly fish in the winter in the driftless. Use a size 20-22 black stonefly. Trout go crazy for them since we have a stonefly hatch in the winter in the driftless

One of my favorite fly patterns in the winter is a nichs pill popper, or any sort of scud pattern. Pink, deep and slow is the way to go here in montana, on the Missouri river.

Check out our other video on some ideas of how to stay warm kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecubhMJ0t5mXZYU.html This should at least get you started in the right direction. Biggest advice is to avoid wearing any cotton… fleece is best. And make sure to have plenty of layers. Simms has amazing gear.

@StreemOutdoors Жыл бұрын

Awesome, the Middle Provo is a ton of fun! Midges are hatching and Blue Winged olives should be hatching soon if it ever warms up a little 😂. I’d be sure to have all stages of midges and BWO but keep them small (sizes 18-22). These fish are highly pressured so down size your tippet as well. Good luck!

@StreemOutdoors Жыл бұрын

I’ll be honest I haven’t fished it for a few weeks but the nice thing about the middle provo is that it’s a tail water controlled by Jordenalle dam… flows are at about 200 cfs which is good fishing flows 👍

I am fishing the rio grande river by my grandparents house but the unfrozen parts of the river seem to be 1-2 foot deep at max. I have been wondering if targeting slow moving sections would be the best way to catch fish? any thoughts

@StreemOutdoors 2 жыл бұрын

Not to familiar with the rio grande but I would try and find deeper water which might be hard to do with it being frozen… those fish still need to feel protected which is what the deeper water does. Slow (walking pace) & deep water is the ticket for winter time.
