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/
There are 6 main differences:
a) The type of rod. Fly fishing poles are longer and have thinner tips for greater control. They’re so long they usually come apart into 2-3 segments for easier transporting.
b) The type of line. Fly fishing uses a thick line attached to a very thin line. The thin line is where the “fly” or bait is attached, and the thick line is what you reel in on the reel.
By contrast, regular fishing line is all of a consistent thickness.
c) The method of presentation. In regular fishing is to either drop your line in the water with a live bait, or cast it with an artificial bait and “pretend” to be a live bait by reeling it in. Fly fishermen spend much more time trying to get their artificial fly directly in front of the fish.
d) Fly fishermen usually get very close to the fish, and often wear hip waders so they can actually walk out into the stream. Regular fishermen fish from the bank or a boat.
e) Fly fishermen tend to think of themselves as craftsmen and often spend time tying their own flies and honing their craft. High-end flyrods can cost hundreds of dollars, whereas a regular fishing pole from Wal-Mart can cost $20.
f) The type of fish. Fly fishermen usually go for stream fish like trout and salmon while regular fishermen usually go to lakes, ponds, etc. and catch bass, crappie, bluegill, etc.
Hope that helps.
They are in poor condition and need to be refurbished.I have tried to find a instruction manual or some kind of book on how to, but have been unsuccessful. Anyone know of a book on this subject or any info ?

What Are Some Techniques For Fly Fishing?
and what color or style of fly work for each fish and time and seson
Moving to Richmond Va need some thing to do
I was using a lightweight “test” It is good for the fish I wish to catch, but it keeps getting tangled. Others were using similar weight line and it is working fine. They have caught some crappies, perches, and bluegills. Please help. I am tired of coming home empty handed.
