Winter fly fishing is typically one of our favorite times of the year as a reset from the typical crowds you find on a lot of rivers. It’s a chance to find solitude amongst the cold water and snow drifting through the air. It’s quieter. Unfortunately this year we’ve had the warmest winter in Utah history. In most areas, no more than a week with snow on the ground. Before winter could even settle in, it was gone.

I filmed this halfway through a perfect dry fly day. After filming, it heated up to one of those days I'll be dreaming about for years to come.
We don't see days like these in March.
If you are wanting to get up into the mountain creeks and streams before the snow melt really hits, I think you've I got just a few davs. The forecast next week is for a day or two to get up to 80°.
If you want a dry fly afternoon that is an incredibly target rich environment let us know.

February update. @mlob1one & @todd_kramer fished together for a couple hours. Dry fly eats were exceptional and nymphing produced immediate results. Winter hatches mean fish feed, with a little snow flurry, they were fearless on the dry flies.
If you don't mind a little cold, the fish are aggressively feeding.
Booking trips into May and were looking forward to a great season.

Anyone else get fresh tracks this week? Nick sure did! Nice to see the river in all of its winter glory again…

No luck here today but it looks like it’ll be very promising later in the season. Nice deeper pool behind that log with some trees on the bank. The trout love having cover especially in good pocket water

High elevation waters have snow and are offering good fly fishing and pretty winter scenery. This week’s fly fishing report is up on my webpage at https://www.sierrabrightdot.com/fly-fishing-report

Do you know how to false cast and when to false cast? Do you know what streamers, dry flies and nymphs are? Do you know how to rig your fly rod for dry flies, nymphs and dry and dropper rig? Learn this and more by signing up for the Sierra Bright Dot email letter. Sign up for the email on the webpage at sierrabrightdot.com or the link in my bio.
The lower Owens River dressed in a coat of white. The best part of a snow storm is when the sun comes out. There is a certain newness to the scene. The trout are rising middle of the day to hatching blue wing olive mayflies. This is the start of consistent winter dry fly fishing. Use size 18 blue wing olive parachutes, size 18 Adams parachute and size 18 olive sparkle duns. Before and after the hatch is time to nymph fish with size 18 olive quilldigons, size 18 bead head flash back pheasant tail nymphs size, 16 Frenchies, size 16 Duracell’s and size 18 French nymphs. If you own two fly rods it’s worth rigging one for nymphs and one for dries. Having a dedicated dry fly rod means you can switch rods quickly without having to rerig. If you’re interested in learning how to fly fish the blue wing olive and midge hatch on the lower Owens River in March contact Sierra Bright Dot Fly fishing guide Service. Link in my bio.
First week of March and it feels like mid spring.
Fishing is really heating up and now is a great time to book with very few angler's on the water. There are opportunities at big fish every day and they are aggressively feeding.

Happy Friday Y’all…

The weekend is almost here, and we hope yours looks something like this. The weather should be prime for some fishing on our local waters and beyond. Spring is in the air early, and a handful of the staff have been getting out to some of Colorado’s famous tailwaters. Whether it’s the South Platte drainage or heading north to the North Platte River, there is no shortage of great fishing right now.
