Top 5 Tips For Winter Fly Fishing

Tue, 12/07/2010 - 21:03 -- smaslar

Aside from obvious safety concerns, such as dressing for the elements, being sure your vehicle is in good working order, making sure you don't get stuck when bad weather comes in, taking a friend fishing with you, and not falling in, here are 5 tips for winter fly fishing.

1.  Fish deliberately.  The fish are moving slowly, and as such, a slower, more deliberate approach is necessary.  Don't give up after the first cast to a promising looking spot.

2.  Use midges and streamers.  They are the most common winter food source.

It is the time of the year when most anglers are not interested in fly fishing and they have put away their fly rods in favor of a rifle or to watch football. However, it may surprise you to know, that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park still presents great fly fishing opportunities for trout. At this time of the year, the GSMNP may still have some beautiful colors in the lower elevations and the leaf looker traffic is all but gone. In addition, it is still a good time to see the deer, elk and bears that abide in the park.
