Winter trout fishing here in North Carolina has been excellent. The colder days are more challenging than the warmer ones but downsizing your flies on the colder days have been vital to our success. Hitting the fish on the nose with smaller flies seems to work most of the time. We’ve been having great success on the higher rivers this time of year with stonefly patterns, prince nymphs, and eggs. Fishing will continue to be good all winter long on the lower elevation creeks and rivers. Give us a call this winter if you want to get on the water. The crowds are nonexistent this time of year so come enjoy the river to yourself.
