Top Five Fly Patterns for Winter

I am sure a lot of you guys have heard of Hatch Magazine, if not I thought I would share a blog post that was written back in November of this past year. The post details the top five fly patterns for the winter months. I use some of the same patterns that were mentioned in his post, but what I found interesting is the various comments he received from his readers.



I have become a fan of Jonathan Barnes Fly Fishing Videos. His videos are filled with lots of information about the type of flies, equipment, and the techniques he uses to land the different trout species he is pursuing. If you are free for the next 25 minutes this one video featuring soft hackles is worth the watch.

  1. Interesting read Bill, thanks. I just discovered the joy of the zebra midge at RMNP in October and the fish couldn't leave it alone. I agree with the pheasant tail as well in all shapes and sizes. I'm going to give soft hackles an honest try this year and see if our Colorado trout like them.
