Winter Fishing: It’s Heating Up!

by Bryant Dunn

Synopsis

February has arrived and with it comes the potential for spectacular fishing. As the sun rises higher in the sky each day and the temperatures trend toward warmer daytime highs, fly-fishing will continue to improve well into March. For the coming weeks, midges will be the dry flies of choice; however, midge pupae patterns will be effective backups when the fish are not yet feeding on the surface. Silver Creek will continue to be a fun winter challenge as midge and streamer fishing will offer opportunities to catch large Rainbows and Browns." Visit the SCO website for the full report.

Tarpon in Margaritaville

Saltwater fishing is probably on the mind of some anglers who have grown tired of frozen guides and size 22 midges by now. To indulge them we offer a great piece written by Mr. Jimmy Buffett, more than a singer/songwriter, he is an avid fly fisherman. From the 2004 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition: "Let us Prey"

Holiday Angling

by Bryant Dunn

Synopsis

The holiday season is upon us and it looks like we are entering an extended period of on and off wintery weather. In the short term, expect to see mostly cloudy skies and periods of snowfall. As a result, temperatures should be moderate, leading to more productive fishing and small emergences of Midges throughout our local systems. So bundle up in your winter weather clothing and take advantage of the open streams under our snowy skies." Read more here.
