The majority of the river will be unfishable due to ice and slush. If you happen to find open water, try fishing small flies under an indicator. Small midge and baetis nymphs in #18-22 work well when fishing sub-surface. Also, be sure to move slowly when approaching the water you are going to fish. Feel free to stop by either shop with any questions!

The flows have still been quite low on the Laramie, and there is some ice starting to form on the upper reaches of the river. The primary hatches right now are BWOs and midges. With the lower water, try fishing some lighter nymph and dry dropper rigs. Small midge and baetis nymphs in #18-22 work well when fishing sub-surface. Also, be sure to move slowly when approaching the water you are going to fish. This is a great time of year to try throwing streamers through some of the deeper holes as well. Trout will get a lot more aggressive right before winter sets in and they will key in on the bigger flies. Feel free to stop by either shop with any questions!
