Fly fishing in winter


Recommended Posts

Any water below a damn like Norris will fish well all year. The water comes off the bottom of the reservoir so is mostly consistent temp aside from the solar heating in the summer. You won鈥檛 get may fly hatches so nymphing is the ticket.聽

I can鈥檛 speak to the French broad but any freestone stream that holds trout will be slower in cold water temps (below 50), but fish still gotta eat, they just don鈥檛 move far so you gotta out that fly right in their face. So finding spots where trout will hold is very important. Like pocket water, riffles to the side of rocks, anywhere were food is funneled and they can sit and eat without expending much energy
