Hi I was wondering what kinds of flys are working right now on the bow. I have been using a red wire suan Juan worm and a prince nymph below and I have been able to actually catch some fish and they where also trying to eat my bright red indactor.

I used the to fish the bow in winters for 3 winters and the browns loved their streamers. Clousers in olive and gray worked best. Heavy weighted wooly buggers, sculpins. Anything heavy that gets to the bottom and something with a bit of size

If you cast upstream On the bank just retrieve it si it's floating with the current. Usually you swing your streamers-cast across and let it swing. You don't want a fast retrieve in winter.

PM BHfisher, he is the best guy to give you knowledge on the bow. He just won't give you fishing spots
