Things are Heating Up

Literally, it is really bloody hot. This is good though, as abundant insect life means fat and energetic trout who are on the feed. We are coming into what I believe is the best time of year for the fly fisherman. The months of February, March and April are a time where fish look to put on condition for their winter activities and also start to make their way upstream.

Myself and another keen guy from Fish City who is just starting out fly fishing, recently headed into one of our favourite headwaters to see how things were shaping up before we really get into into the headwater season. Numerous fat bows presented themselves and had a nudge a few dries too. The water was a nice swimmable temp too, which was just as well a seeing as the hike in was out of control hot.

First cast, not too bad!

It's always good to spend time outside but the weather we have been having has been just stunning. Make the most of it as it won't hang around forever.

See you out there!
