I’ve been nymphing the past week and had settled into “Winter fishing mode”, so I was surprised to have quite a few fisherman come in this afternoon who were excited about catching Wild Browns on Hoppers, Griffith’s Gnats, Henryville Specials and Parachute Adams.
The crowds along the river have thinned out. Why? -Weather. It has been nice and cloudy today. Most are using bead head nymphs sized #12-14 or small weighted streamers in Black or Brown sized #8-12. This afternoon we’ve been talking to folks about the benefits of Capilene under breathable waders. We have some new spiffy windproof, fingerless gloves from Patagonia that have been a real hit with the Steelheaders heading up North. Our short and long sleeved logo T-shirts are in stock and ready to wear.They are Olive green in color, have the shop logo on the front and a screen printing of one of Mary K., The Fish Lady’s beautiful Brown trout on the back. Check out her stuff in the gallery section of the site.
