What Does The Size Of Fly-fishing Flies Mean. Example; “sizes 10-22″ How Does 10 Differ From 22? Thank You!
I’m looking to purchase fly-fishing flies on line, but I don’t know what size to buy. Do you know of any sites that sell inexpensive flies? I’m too dang cheap to spend over 60 cents on a fly when usually I snag it in the grass behind me. I’m a beginner but getting better. I’m on a tight budget too. Thanks for you help!!

Hey There! What Are Some Good Fly Fishing Flies To Use Over The Winters In Colorado And Why?
As the temperature drops, the chances are the fish will be a little lower in the water. What are you fishing rivers or lakes?
When it gets colder dries have their uses, but i prefer to go a little sub-surface, that is in both lakes in rivers. I will mainly fish nymphs, in most lakes at this time of year trout will be chasing fry, so an intermediate with a fry type streamer on will work very well, don’t fish them too deep and allow the fish the time to hit the fly and take it, the olive or white woolly bugger is good for this, on a long fluorocarbon leader fished on its own.http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…
My favorite method however is nymphs and chironomids, fished in pairs, I really like the PTN and copper johns at this time of year, fished on a sink tip line, like RIOs midge tip lines, this works well for both nymphs and chironomids, the gold ribbed hares ear also works very well at representing all kinds of aquatic creatures. My last fly taht i wouldn be without, in both rivers and lakes is the san jaun worm, fished very slowly with the occasional twitch in the retrieve on a floating line, or if there is some wind a midge tip.http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…
Czech nymphing is also a great method, in rivers where there is an un even and rocky bottom, those with a red or orange spot in the centre work very well, then stone fly varianst like the montana in lime and black with a lead under body.http://www.virtualflybox.com/
Similar version of midge tiphttp://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…
Other flies you might want to try out is a muddler twitched across the surface on a floating line(its worked well for me a few times in the colder months), or if youre fishing deeper water a sinking line with a zonker.http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…
Zonkerhttp://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…
Deeper water nymphs, very important when the weather is cold http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…
Finally the damsel nymph, this is a versatile pattern you might want to look at, it works well in the summer and in the winter, both times on a floating line.http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…
This is the best fluorocarbon line i have found and use it for all subsurface workhttp://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…
These are two general purpose fly fishing sites you might find usefulhttp://www.hooked-on-flies.com/http://www.freewebs.com/troutandsea/
Black Weighted #2-4 Wooly Buggers, Poppers, Clouser minnows. Any minnow flies.

-Thanks
I’ve been tying to get into fly fishing for a while now, and this would be the perfect oppurtunity. Could you please go to this site and identify these flies for me please.http://www.generationwild.com/2009/01/be…
It all depends on the time of year. What type of fly line do you have? What type of flies do you have experience with or want to use, such as nymphs, dry flies, emergers, wet flies, streamers. Are you fishing in a stream or lake? There’s a lot of variables. I suggest that you contact a local fly shop in the area that you want to fish and find out from them. If they’re honest, they will be able to tell you what is really working.
