Get out the fingerless gloves and forget about the normal summertime stealth tactics, says Patrick Meitin. Winter is all about finding an uncrowded spot and using dual rigs for a higher hookup rate. “Since the dual rig is also very much part of San Juan du jour, I still attach a tiny thing on a dropper. But while fishing dirty water, this normally includes a sparkle wing to grab attention.” In Rocky Mountain Game & Fish.
