One of the most overlooked times of year to fish that actually crushes… SPRING!
The fish are starting to snap out of their winter hibernation mode and we get some great eats in the spring. Try to get out on the sunny warm days before run off hits. So when there is still snow on the mountain and the skiing is a slushy mess… those are the epic days to get out and fish.
Trout can be found feeding on the midge hatches. ( See photo) and also some nice fat stoneflies. When the fish are eating midges, like they have been recently, you will see them rise with very little splash as they eat the tiny meals just before they break the surface. The bites on your hook can be just as subtle, so set the hook on everything!
Have fun and good luck. If you would like to learn more, book a guided fly fishing trip with Anderson’s Fish Camp. We will customize each outing based on what you want to learn or if you just want to catch a bunch of fish and have fun, it’s all up to you! We still recommend a half-day wade trip, which is 4 hours. You can ski in the morning and fish in the afternoon when it’s warmest. We’d love to get you out on the water.
