Winter is here on the Reef. Up top is looking good and fishing well. As you get lower and closer to town ice is creeping into the system.

Fishing nymph rigs that incorporate large attractor flies like pine squirrel leeches and worm patterns with a smaller midge, BWO, and emerger patterns behind is a great option this time of year on the Reef. Try bugs like the Mayhem, Juju Baetis, and RS2s. The colder it gets the smaller bugs we will have to fish here.

Streamer fishing is always a great option, and larger dungeons do the trick. If the fish are finicky, try slow stripping and crawling a leech down deep, this can be extremely effective as well.
