TUESDAY TIP - "Winter Dry Fly Fishing Tips" by @heidiaqua. #uwotfeducation

Read Full Blog [LINK IN BIO]. https://uwotf.com/blog/winter-dry-fly-fishing-tips/

Winter dry fly fishing is some of the most challenging of the year by far. Water is low, clear and the bugs are tiny! Fly: Orange Asher (dry fly midge cluster) size 20.

MOVE SLOWLY - Approach slowly. Fish are so spooky in the winter months. Like REALLY slowly.

SHALLOW AND SLOW WATER - Look for fish in shallow-slower moving water. This water warms quicker in the winter and fish are less lethargic here. You often don’t have to be in more than up to your shins in the water!

GET LOW - Kneel on your heels while casting or sit on a higher side bank to keep your appearance to minimum. The fish can see you!

LONG LEADERS - 9’ 5x with + 2’ of 6x or 9’ 6x + 2-3’ additional 6x tippet. The fly will land softer and you will be further from the fish.

DOUBLE DRY RIG - If you can’t see your fly try a double dry rig like you would a dry dropper set up. Bigger dry first followed by your tiny midge pattern.

CAST DOWNSTREAM - Try and feed the fish from the top down. Cast your fly down stream and feed some line to the rising fish as you kneel or sit on the bank.

AVOID FALSE CASTS - Avoid false casts as much as possible.

STOP ROD TIP HIGH - Before you let your line land on the water stop your rod tip high above the water and slowly lowering it down to finish your cast This will cause less disturbance on the surface.

It's FISH HANDLING FRIDAY and we're kicking off the new year with photos and videos from our community that are easy to take solo or with a friend and follow proper fish handling practices if you choose to release your fish. #fishhandlingfriday

This week we're sharing a tip to lean over a boat when taking a photo of your catch. Hold your fish over the water and not in a boat, over rocks or on land per the @keep.fish.wet tip.

Use a long selfie stick or have your friend take a photo. Try using a wide angle option to get a different view. 📸 = @lindsaykocka (she/her) UWOTF Facebook Moderator
