Should i bother bringing my Fly rod or my spin casting rod? What should i do?

It’s been said before, but bears repeating: The best time to go fishing is when you can.

Locally, as long as there is open water, either your flyrod or spinning rod will do. Although there will be exceptional days, when the weather is balmy, fish more than likely will be feeding subsurface. So choose your baits and flys with that in mind.

For the spinning outfit, anything from plastic worms to spinnerbaits can work. For the flyrod, think in terms of nymphs, streamers, and other subsurface flies. You’d be hard to beat either a wooly bugger (and its variants) or a Clouser Minnow.
