Not Ranked : 0 Complex HATCHES! Being in an area with a diverse aquatic insect population we often encounter complex hatches and spinner falls at these times the trout go nuts and so do the fly fishermen ( explains the hair loss and grayhair as well as talking to ones self). When they occur it is a very tricky time as some fish key in on caddis while others are on sulfers and still others on slate drakes and spinners of every discription. It can be a great time on the water if you are prepaired if not very frustating. I like to throw spinner patterns in these situations and seem to have luck doing so. I carry a good variaty of sizes from size 10-20 in rusty,sulfer,cahill and other colors and change as needed till I start getting takes. Do any of you here encounter these conditions often? And what tactics and flies do you prefer to use? |
