Winter Tips: January 6, 2017

After enduring multiple days of sub zero temperatures in Montana, its hard to not dream about warm summer days and casting dry flies to rising trout.  Recently I have focused my attention on the tying vise and restocking on the essential patterns, but you can also spend some time surfing the internet and improving your skills.  Here is some of the good stuff I have found in the last couple of days.

Setting up a Two Fly Rig  With two flies you can imitate multiple insects, different stages of the hatch, or they can help to get the fishes attention.

Learn to Tie Flies  Basics are easy to learn and once you know them you can improvise your own patterns.

Never to early to think about improving casting  Learning the double haul can make you a more versatile angler; opening up more areas of the river and different types of water.
