Throw Them Some Meat This Winter
There’s a reason some anglers consider winter the season for fly-tying, not fishing. For me though, it’s the season I get to fish the most, while the rest of the year is spent doing more guiding and rowing. As it is, figuring out finnicky trout can be maddening. Add uncomfortable cold winter conditions to that equation, and it’s enough to send some anglers back to the tying bench.Jan 20th, 2015
