A brief update from the DRO team about operations during the COVID-19 outbreak
The Zirdle Bug is a popular fly in the bins at the shop. This beaded jig version is tied with Squirrel for a slimmer profile that is perfect for area streams.
Check out this high floating dry fly for fishing riffles, pocket water, and smaller streams.
Practicing Social Distancing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 doesn't mean that you can't tie flies, or fish near your home. Over the next few weeks we will be posting new flies to tie, fishing techniques to practice, and helpful "how to's" to help pass the time with fishing positive thinking.
Just after the first snow of the year, the fish are slow and the temps are cold. If you plan to fish this time of year, sleep in and make a cup of coffee before heading to the river. Around 10:00 the water and the air will warm up and the fish will start feeding for the day. The fish will feed until 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon until the sun goes behind the trees and the air temps start to drop again. Make sure you wear layers so you can add and subtract clothes throughout the day. As always when fishing during the winter, make sure that you have a plan of where you are going and tell others where you expect to be and what time you expect to be off the water, in case something happens while you are fishing.
