The cold weather has set in and a lot of people are thinking about hanging up their fly rods for the year, but why? The fishing is still great. Nate Miller has the Fish Tech. " we are going to discuss picking out the right fly for this transitional time between fall and winter. This time of year, go big, go bright or go tiny. Strawberry is still fishing great, big Crystal buggers like this, a natural zonker like this, kind of a minnow imitating fly is working really well up there. The fish are getting really aggressive on the rivers as well. If you fish the Weber, the Provo, or the Green. Big articulating streamers like this really aggravate some of those browns that are getting nice and aggressive. Another great way to go on the rivers is to choose something bright. Right now there is a lot of the browns and rainbows that are spawning, some of the rainbows are coming up from the lakes and there is a lot of eggs in the water. I've found generally anything that is bright kind of fluorescent pinks, florescent oranges, yellows all work really well. If all else fails, go tiny. There is still plenty of fish rising to midges and blue wing olives right now. And if not on the top go underneath with like a small midge pupa, or a little mayfly nymph. If you have any questions, come on down, we'd be happy to show you some flies and some setups. "
