Think Like a Trout, Act Like a Bug.

Going, Going...

The open water season is winding down - the signs are all there...

An over-night skiff of snow
Winter's teeth closing in on the edge of a shaded run
And cutthroats congregating in deep winter holes
For the die-hard fly angler there are still a few Baetis mayflies hatching in the "heat" of the afternoon. These trickling hatches are sometimes enough to bring fish to the surface, but it is the tiny, drifting Baetis nymphs that will attract the most attention.

Morning Calm


I love this time of year. Calm, crisp mornings and pleasantly warm afternoons. There's no better time to head out to the local trout lakes.
