Here is one of my bread and butter patterns for winter fishing. I’m not sure why this fly attracts fish so well, but it does. It is a simple Prince Nymph variation that is quick to tie, and straight up catches fish! It the last week and a half I have been fishing three times, and the only other pattern that rivaled the catch rate of the Bloody was the Rainbow Warrior, which is another awesome fly in the Winter. Its been cold as of late, so of course midge larva are about the only critters I’m finding in stomachs, but trout still have a hard time letting this fly pass by. Take my word for it, you won’t be disappointed!
Also, leave us a comment telling what your favorite Winter patterns are!
Recipe:
Hook: Dai-riki 135 sizes 14-18

That fly looks pretty money for winter trout. Might give that a go this week.
For sure Zach, give it a try, and let us know how it works for you. Tight lines!
My favorite winter fly has to be the famous olive flavor brassie you guys have on your website. I tied some up and they have been doing great for me this winter.
