Winter fly fishing means cold water and trout that don’t like to move off the bottom much. A rig that keeps your nymphs deep yet avoids snags is just the ticket. In this video, Joe Rotter from Red’s Fly Shop shows you how to create a drop-shot rig that uses a split shot below the nymph. That way, the shot will roll and slide through rocks and debris without snagging, while the fly stays suspended just off the bottom, where trout want it.

Dave and Amelia from Jensen Fly Fishing have released another episode in their video series “The Bank.” We’ve discussed dead-drifting streamers before, but here, Dave explains how he fishes a three-streamer rig under an indicator at those times when the trout aren’t willing to commit fully to a stripped streamer.

Video Pro Tips: How to Fish Wet Flies & Nymphs

Winter insect hatches are few and far between, so you’ll spend most of the time fishing below the surface. In this great how-to video from The New Fly Fisher, Tom Rosenbuaer explains the basics of choosing and fishing subsurface patterns–both nymphs to be drifted and wet flies to be swung. Pete Kutzer makes an appearance, as well, teaching you how to make better casts with a nymph-and-indicator rig or heavy flies.

See you at Action Angler Fly Shop at 8:00 am on Tuesday, 12/18. Should be able to spread out up and downstream from the access point. Hope to see you there! Chris has waived the access fee for club members…..thanks, Chris.
Also remember if you need any tippet, leader etc. stop into the shop, with the higher flows 4x and even 3x are the way to go.

Also, pencil in January 10th for a trip to Castell to fish on the Llano River for state stockers
