SHOP NOTES: A Cold Day For The Record
http://madrivershopnotes.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-cold-day-for-record.html
A Cold Day For The Record. A record cold day on The Mad River. A photo I took of a section of the river down the road from my house in bone chilling temperatures. Including the wind chill it was -24 degrees today (February 19th 2015). Spring fishing is nothing more than a very distant dream. I think tying another box of flies is in order for today to soften the blow. Happy 2015 Clint Joseph Bova. Arne Mason Custom Rod Cases. View my complete profile. Shop Notes Journal Entries.

The Early Spring Midge. Midges are out with the earliest Stonefly and Mayfly hatches, often the fishes are ONLY hitting midges. Why is this? Well its the old “pounds per meat law” trout zero in on the most plentiful morsel in the water in order to save energy. When the water is still very cold this is often the case. A very productive pattern I have found over the years is something I call an “early spring midge” that consists of a few special materials but is quite simple to tie. Wing and Head Post:.

The “Fore and Aft Quill” My Simple Midge Pattern. I turned on a bunch of anglers and guides to this fly up in Ontario many years ago on The Grand River after an evening hatch of Drakes and Hendricksons. The evening hatch proved to be masking what the fish were actually eating, or not! 8221; (Scottish Folks) after chuckling I handed them a few of them and their clients were happier and more giving.
