Kristi Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 And what should I be tying for this time of year to fish streams and rivers, any suggestions??? ~Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 And what should I be tying for this time of year to fish streams and rivers, any suggestions??? ~Kristi Nymphing in the winter is generally the best way to go. While this will undoubted be contradicted by some, i find smaller nymphs e.g. #16 work well for me in the winter. San Juan worms, hares ear, prince nymphs and copper johns are always good performers. Good luck and welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristi Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Ok here is another question.. any suggestions for salt water flys as I am going to be in Mexico in Febuary... I've made several streamers and they look like chunks of meat!!!... those sukkas are for the sharks and I dont think I'll be casting those for blacktips anywhere close to there.. salt water will be new for me shore and deep water.. ~Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JayVee Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Nymphing in the winter is generally the best way to go.

Good luck and welcome to the forum. I'm with you on the small flies in winter but they just haven't been working well for me this year - I've all but abondoned them. I've been doing well on San Juans (the big ones!), stones and leeches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 O.K on top of being stoked for this seminar comming up here in Edmonton. I'm looking forward to weekend after in Calgary.

murray Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Kristi, the FF show at Spruce Meadows is an excellant way to meet some of the people from this board. Stop by the booth and introduce your self. There are lots of short seminars and tieing demos all through the weekend. Check out the web site, fly fishing events .com to see what the seminars are all about. The workshops are all about 2 hours long and well worth the cost in my opinion. I'll be spending some time at the fly fish calgary booth. Not too sure if that is the actual name on the booth but there should be several guys taking turns tieing some flies. You should probably find something on sale that you need. If you see me at the show, say Hi. I'm the old guy. Murray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks Murray I'll be sure to stop by there... and say Hello! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
