How many fly fishermen on here.

Where were you at? The size of the fish makes me think Mexico or Belize? Wind can be beat with fly gear, just takes practice.

Belize. Conditions were rough for sure.

Nice. I fly to Mexico tomorrow to chase Permit. I'll be right on the Mexican/Belizean border. Besides a little rain, the conditions should be great.

Anyone chased trout in Kentucky in the winter?

I've never even thought of Kentucky as a trout destination. I would imagine it would still be warm enough there for viable trout fishing unlike places further north or west during winter.

I look forward to the pics. I think I am going to just use the fly gear for freshwater trout.

Don't give up. You'll be missing out on a lot of fun. You just have to practice.

Last week in Estes Park I picked up a new 4 weight to add to the arsenal. I tried several and decided on the Sage One. It was the ticket in the Big Thompson. Having a built in cooler along the bank was a huge plus.

Gona need more info!!!

In 3 days I could fish broken bow.....white river in Arkansas....roaring river in Missouri......a whirl wind trip to the Rockies in New Mexico.

or stayin Texas with more time on the water...Guadalupe....shonto ranch....any hill country river....

Then there is the coast... that time frame could get you from the Mississippi delta to the rio grande.

I either want to trout fish or catch reds on the coast which I’ve never done. I’ve fished for trout all over New Mexico and can’t think of any where i would want to go in the winter. Would be open to places in Colorado. Ive been wanting to try broken bow or Arkansas but don’t know anything about them. Would be interested in guides that can put me on some redfish.

pm me when you figure out some dates. If I'm on the coast your welcome to a boat ride.

I'm planning on broken bow but am waiting on the walleye bite to start.

I like Broken Bow because it is only 3.5 hrs away and this time of year the crowds are down. Compared to the summer months when the banks are lined shoulder to shoulder with push button fisherman.

If you want to add about 4 hours to your drive check out the tailwaters below the Norfork dam. It is a tributary of the White and has been described as the only blue ribbon trout stream in the south.

They have a state park just below the dam for camping, or you can find a cabin along the river. The last time I went, we stayed at Charlie's Trout Resort, or something like that.

We used to camp at McClellans where a world record brown trout was caught in 1988 but they closed.
