Time to shift gears

[Joe S.]

Well, it's finally too cold to take the boat out fishing any more this season. Time to shift gears and start tying flies again. Anybody tie their own flies?

I fish all year. Welcome to Georgia.

Joe S,
You don't mention where you live. On Sat my house guest caught a 25 inch cutthroat trout at Pyramid Lake, NV. For winter fishing good canvas really helps on the boat, and the right clothes. You need a windshield wiper for snow. A propane heater and a backpacking stove for a hot lunch help also. Our best fishing is now until May.

Hi...


As a teenager, I used to tie flies. I enjoyed it very much...even though I never owned a fly rod...!!

I would...however..."dapple" for trout. That was merely tying a dry fly on the end of the conventional mono on my long bait casting rod, and letting the fly drop gently onto the water's surface. And, I caught trout...!!

Just don't ask me about the time I tried to make a canoe out of willow branches and some canvas...!!
