Silvcrton fly fisherman, dropped in to see us the other day and wondered why we didn't give out with a bit more fly Ashing Information and give' less with the spin fishing chatter. Mr. Bailer probably has a has run to the However, the fly fishermen In spite of on the waters able number of the trend back nine addicts. Spin fishing place sooner or levelling period hullabaloo about years ago. The Dra Bartw fishing method has found its place 2A Once again there is more interest in fly tying and the taking of fish on a home tied fly. The fly fisherman has never sworn off his favorite method of taking fish even if a few did wander away to the spinning method for a time. There is something more to fly fishing than the mere taking of the fish. There is the pure joy of casting a fly and watching it float along the There is the thrill of seeing a trout rise to that fly in slow, deliberate fashion. There is the great satisfaction of knowing that you have skillfully fooled a good rainbow or brown trout. Use Dark Flies for Early in Season You fly anglers who may be preparing for the coming seasoa would do well to dress the majority of your early seasoa patterns la grays or browns. Patterns such as the March brown, dark eahill, red quill, Hendricksoo, gray Wulff, and English stone, to name a few, will always work well la the early season. As the season progresses you will find that many of the stream Insects will be in the lighter patterns. Light grays, yellows, and creams will predominate during the daylight hours. Along towards evening the hatches may be in the darker colors again. We have always believed that size had more direct bearing on the success of the fly than did the color. By that we do not mean to get entirely away from the color of the natural insect. However, if the natural on the water is a dark blue or dark gray in a size 16 and the only fly in your box to match the size is a dark brown fly, then it should be used. By no means try to lure a fish up to a light yellow fly if the naturals are all dark. Larger Flies Pick Gayer Colors It will do little good also to use a size I fly ia black just because the naturals happea U be black but la a size 14 or 1(. Rarely . will a person see an Insect la the black color phase la a very large fly. The exception will be your sedges which often go to about size 10. As a rule the larger flies will be ia the gayer colors. The big browa, greea, or yellow mayflies are the largest of the mayfly group and only occur at certain places. Too, it is wise to remember, that in the higher altitudes the insects are usually smaller than they are at low elevations. The little black midges, gray forked tails, etc., are all found at high altitudes. True, they may also be found to some extent at lower elevations but there will be more large insects than small. Start now to ready yourself for the coming season. The anticipation is great sport, too.
