How Late Into The Fall Can I Fly Fish For Trout In New England?
March 31st, 2009 | How To Fly Fish | 3 Comments »Thinking of taking a small vacation this month but only if the fishing is good.
Fish have to eat every couple of days or die. That means they are feeding year round.
Make sure the body of water you are thinking of fishing is open for fishing.
As long as the water is not iced over, you can fly fish. In streams or rivers, nymphing is always your best bet during the winter as that is what the fish are primarily feeding on. Get your nymph right down to the bottom and fish it below a strike indicator and have a drag free drift. You will catch fish once you determine which nymphs to use. Midges will hatch year round, as long as the water is not iced over. There is always a chance for a little dry fly action because of that, but mostly nymph fishing is the best bet.
