3. A grisson yellow winged buzzer, never fails.
4. Try the book fly fishing by J R Hartly.
5. cats whisker if its a stocked lake or res
6. in the caribbean you will see them
7. In and near the Rocky Mountains, very small midge patterns seem to work best during the winter months.
8. Blood Nymph. Had loads of takes.
9. A chartruse wollybuger
10. I.d go for a small black lure. Mini dog nobbler style. if you don't fish them try a Tadpole(no weighted head) a Viva is always a good bet or an old fav of mine is a ace of spades.If the weather is bright try any white or orange lure.Use a slow sinking line.You could still use a floating line and weighted nymph with a long leader,fish it slow and work it deep..Agood trick is to cast with the wind behind you and just leave it for a few minutes , then give it a steady pull and leave it again. Hope this helps some,Tight lines.
11. I'd probably go for a lure of some kind that resembles a small fish, perhaps a muddler minnow or something a bit flashy.
12. Typically, nymphing is the way to flyfish in the winter months. A nymph that has never failed me anywhere I used it is the "pheasant tail" nymph. It has a flashback variation which is what i use mostly as it is better seen by the fish and thus produces well.
13. ask at your local gander mont.
14. Try to match whatever they are feeding on. Whatever is hatching this time of year in your area. Look under the rocks for nymphs.
