Fishing Report

       Winter has to be my favorite time of the year to fish.  The water is so clear, it makes for some outstanding sight fishing.  This is good news for fly fishermen. Putting a fly or a lure in front of a school of reds that you can see is exciting to all anglers. Look for days that have lots of sunshine and little wind. I like those tides that are low in the middle or late part of the day. This time of year you might not catch large numbers of reds, like you do in the summer, but the quality of fish are much better. This is also a good time to do some trout fishing.  I like to through soft plastics, work them very slow and deep. Winter weather can be fickle but be patient and pick your days.  If you are lucky, you will see why winter is my favorite time of the year.
