Recommended Trout Flies:

Midges: Light Green, size 20/22, larva, pupa and adults
Aquatic Worms, size 12, pink, red, and others.
Winter Stoneflies, size 16/18, nymphs and adults
Strategies, Techniques and Tips: Trout:
Brown Sculpin, White Belly Sculpin and Articulated streamers are great flies to use anytime.
Various species of Blue-winged Olives are hatching, mostly on cloudy, overcast days.
Black and Olive matuka sculpin are catching trout.
We still think the best strategy is to fish a tandem Midge rig under a small strike indicator with
the midge lava as the bottom fly and the midge pupa as the top fly. Fish the adult midge only
when you observe trout feeding on the surface.
Aquatic worms are working.
Winter stoneflies are hatching.
