You mentioned the small may flies,for me here in Colorado, one of my go to patterns the first few weeks after ice off is a bead head gold ribbed hares ear. Its a very good generic calibetis pattern. Im not sure if ours are a little lighter in color then in BC, I hear you guys mention pheasent tails, but for me they are a little dark, done in the regular color. Ours even have a hint of yellow or orange some times.
Thanks for the info Tim and very similar to what we see at various BC lakes. The mayfly nymphs have a variety of colors, which we’ve found is dependent on the stage of their life and the lake water chemistries. Definitely going to try a light bead head Hares Ear Nymph this Spring 🤩👌
Yes, cool water temperatures and good food sources have to be available for the fish in the shallow water or they won’t be there, as it’s not safe for them.
Great video guys thank you. Question, what do guys do with your anchor ropes? Do you have them in anything or are they just laying laying on the floor. Trying to keep snagging in the boat to a . :)
One of my favorite shows. Great episode. 👍

Good info
I heard that trout fishing in shallow areas of the lake's possible in very limited times. Thank you for your sharing the Tying, fish love gold color.

We drop anchor and then put the remaining rope in a shallow plastic tub. Keeps it out of the way and clean.
Good episode but dam it looked cold!
Yup, it was cold 🥶
Do you EVER consider not hanging the fly under an indicator? Like.... retrieving or (gasp!) trolling?
You bet. We try it all but may not film it all 🤪🤩👌
Just got my answer. Mid April
damsel will ride upside down with all that weight
Yes, and works great when you give it some action 🤩👌
How do you properly spell “quiabras”? I’ve googled it along with “pupa” and Father Google is even confused 😂
Chaoborus also better known as Glass worms
