So I decided to hit the river today in search of some trout instead of going ice fishing and I am glad I did.
I figured I would need to be fishing midges so I setup with a size 18 midge as my top fly and a size 16 bead head hares ear nymph tied on a jig hook as my bottom fly.
I landed 4 nice rainbows (all on the hares ear nymph) and lost 3 others.
The air temp was 34 and the water temp was a surprising 40. River was clear with a nice flow.
Here is some trout porn from the trip...
