What Are The Best Fish To Fly Fish For During This Time Of Year And During Mid Winter?

September 26th, 2009 | How To Fly Fish | 3 Comments »

I live near many rivers that have rainbow trout (my favorite) and all kinds of salmon. Are rainbows a good thing to fly fish for this time of year and mid winter.

Depends where you are. The resident rainbows will be there all year. If that’s your favorite, target them. If you get steelhead runs then there’s your answer. The steelhead will be found in the same sections as the rainbows, riffles and tailouts. If salmon are the you’re going to have to step up to a larger size outfit. 8 weight is probably your best bet not knowing what river you’re fishing and if you are going to tangle with a ‘nook. If you’re on the west coast, sea run cutthroat are a blast to catch.

How many in here like fly fishing?
