How to fish a fall olive hatch
Gray afternoons, tiny mayflies and long leaders. A simple plan for Blue-Winged Olives.
Seasons
Winter midge fishing on Colorado tailwaters
When freestone rivers lock up, the water below the dams keeps fishing. Tiny flies, slow water, mid-day.
Start here
Your first Colorado fly box: 10 flies that cover most days
You don't need 400 flies. These ten, in the right sizes, will catch trout on most Colorado water most of the year.
Know before you go
Reading river flows: what CFS means for your day
Two numbers tell you a lot before you leave the house: how much water is moving, and how cold it is.
Fly tying
Tie a Zebra Midge in six steps
Thread, wire and a bead. The best first fly to learn at the vise, and one of the best flies to fish.
