It's in bloom now

Witch Hazel is in bloom and the gulls are on the river eating "little black stoneflies" it's almost Spring, not so much today but it's close. Watch for the Olives and Midges to bust out now any time the weather warms a bit and we have some cloud cover, get ready. It apperas that we might just have higher than normal water for this year but again Mother nature sure throws curves all the time! Remember to clean those lines and apply lube to your reals along with cleaning all your rods while you give them a look over. It's also a great time to attach new leader for 2022, your old stuff is just that old and it gets brittle especialy if you keep you gear in the trunk or in any sunshine. It's also a good time to maybe buy some new tippet material, I know it's like buying gold but it's what is between you and your catch- so get the good stuff. I love Trout Hunter but there are some really good one's out there, Si Angler, Rio, Fulling Mill and Orvis. Keep tying and building up your inventory because it doesn't take long to loose a few. Oh by the way "fly vs. Jerks 13 is OK but still does not show that much fly action. Try another YouTube channel "Fly TV" it has Nick Bauer fishing and tying really new flies, check it out.
