I did it bck in Jersey and now do it out here over in MO and AR. I really am a dry fly person but you can catch some killer fish over there with nymphs and streamers. The browns on the White, Norfork and the Missouri waters really show well on those "half chicken" articulated streamers. The down side is it take a pretty stout rod to throw them and a sink tip line. However, I have had some luck with an Orvis impregnated bamboo 8'6" rod throwing a 6 wt. Line and a Scott 7wt throwing a 7 wt line, with smaller versions of those articulated streamers. Just have to work at it but what the heck its still fly fishing. I would really like to get back to Jersey and fish "The Gorge" during the winter. Look me up if you come out.

I have that exact model and use it for tight line nymphing most of the time. So far I've been happy with mine. Link to post Share on other sites

brushbuster Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I got out (garden state no less) with my grouse hunting buddy and picked up my first trout in 2021. They were refusing pretty much everything till about noon and then we had some pretty good fishing for about 30 minutes before I had to leave. Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not talking about Arizona in February or things of that nature. I’m talking about northern streams. Busting through ice at the streams edge, ice in your guides, ice floating by you, that kind of winter fly fishing. In Ct I fly Fish thru the winter months, but really focus on the small stream wild trout, they will sometimes rise to an adams parachute or a grey/ black CDC stonefly.....

upstate Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Don’t get out to the streams much but local lakes offer a chance for some winter fish. Cold hands and ice in the guides but worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
