Water Color

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

There are times when slightly discolored water improves the fishing. The simple reason is that the fish are less wary. This very apparent late in the summer when the low streams are crystal clear and the fish are spooky and difficult to catch. Then along comes a thunderstorm with an inch of rain. The stream picks up a little extra color and the fish are much easier to catch because they are less wary.

How Small a Trout Fly Do I Need?

Fly Fishing Tip: How small of a Trout Fly do I need?
To me it depends upon what the trout are feeding upon. For example, if they are feeding on natural pseudocleon or tricos which are size 24 on the streams I fish, then I use a size 24 fly. Late in the season when the trout are feeding on a variety of terrestrials I’ll go to a size 20 Ant if they will not take my larger patterns.
