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.
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.
ReplyDeleteThat guy is a great angler. He also ties some productive flies.
ReplyDeleteHatch is a great publication for sure..and by the way Bill...Happy New Year to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteI've used a couple of the top 5. The Zebra Midge is my favorite. You can't get enough fly fishing videos! Thanks Bill.
