What to do now

It's time to think about getting out when our high water goes down, we should not have the thermal shock that we get from a day or two of melting snow and the water temp's diving thereby putting our trout off the feed for a few days. We have had that very heavy rain the other day and night and most of our snow cover will be gone for our late winter fishing streams but there just might be some feeders that have that shot of very cold water coming down them, just look at where your going and determine if your day will be effected by that very cold water. In the coming weeks you will have a ton of Zoom presentations to watch, FFI has the following for us; 2/22 at 8 PM, 2/28 at 8 PM, 3/2 at 6PM, 3/8 at 5 PM, 3/10 at 8 PM, 3/14 at 8 PM 3/15 at 8 PM just check out Fly Fishers International web site and get on board. Spring Creek TU has a free Zoom 3/3 at 7 PM featuring Ben Hayes from Bucknell, check out their web site to get on board, FFI also has a Zoom on the same date at 5 PM - take your pick from any of these and you'll find a wealth on information to enjoy. Still tying and watching a ton of YouTube at night featuring George Daniel, Davey McFail and others that truly give you update and cutting edge info. and many exciting patterns. I just saw that "Fly vs. Jerks" season 13 is on again, it still only has one fly team but just watch how they cast and play big fish is an eduction in itself plus the overall quality of the video production is just wionderful. I think that this Wed or Thursday just might be a good time frame to get out and hunt for a few fish.
