The Frying Pan River: Fly Fishing Tips & Tricks

Producer: Guidline

“Snow and freezing temperatures do not mean the dry fly equipment needs to be put away. For Beck Brooks, rising trout are a year round occurrence on the tailwaters of western Colorado. The Frying Pan is a famous example, but these tips and tricks will work anywhere bugs are hatching as temperatures start to fall. From matching the hatch to presentation, these are some of the most pressured trout in the world, but with a bit of patience and dedication, they will still rise to a well-presented fly. High fish numbers occupying every water type work to one’s advantage here, though to be successful, you must crack the code on any given day. Watch to see how Beck approaches these fish late in the season when the bugs get smaller, the fish get pickier, and winter sets in.”
