How to Approach Winter Fly Fishing

As winter grips much of trout country, many anglers are content to simply put the fly gear in the closet and wait for some spring sun and warmer weather. But winter fly fishing can be a great way to enjoy the outdoors and catch some fish.

As anglers, we understand that good fishing depends on healthy, intact habitat. And, while simple awareness is a good thing, we’re often left wondering how we can make a difference, particularly in our local watersheds where we spend the most time on the water. 

It’s tough, as a single voice, to affect change when it comes to protecting and improving the watersheds in our backyards. But when we come together as a community of conservation-minded anglers, we can make a real difference. Fortunately, there are organizations around the country devoted to amplifying the voices of anglers with a conservation conscience, and getting involved is easy.
