This is the coldest time of year, so keep in mind that trout metabolisms have slowed and they are not moving much to eat.
The formula is simple though: small nymphs fished in the deepest holes, with enough weight. Oh, and you have to basically hit the trout on the nose to get them to eat.
Patterns/Bugs:
Nymphs: Prince nymphs 14-18, Brown Baetis Nymph 18-22, Killer Mayfly Nymph 18-22. Rios Rain Drop 14-16, Rainbow Warrior 18-22.
Midges 18-22: Black Flash Midge Pupa, Disco Midge, Tavs Big Mac, CDC Midge Dry, Bunny Midge Dry, Parachute Adams in 18-24, Griffith Gnat #18-22.
