I don't know about everybody else, but for me, when crummy winter weather appears in the form of cold temperatures, snow, or both, I hop on my fly tying vise and start cranking out flies. For the last few days, I have been cranking out 1/80 ounce jigs with a few wooly buggers mixed in as well. The jigs work great for trout, bluegill, small bass, crappie, and even white bass. These jigs work especially well for stocked trout in both lakes and streams. I fish them under a strike indicator and the patterns that I tie are proven. As for the wooly buggers, these too are patterns that have been field tested and have caught a lot of fish. I mainly throw the buggers that are shown on floating line and chase bigger bluegill, smaller bass, white bass, and channel cats. I don't throw these buggers for trout because they are pretty decent size (size 6) but bigger trout could be tempted by them.
So if you are in the need for some jigs, woolies, or bigger streamers, feel free to swing by my
online fly shop. I'm going to keep cranking out flies and I'll keep you updated in regards to updated inventory and/or new products in the shop. Every purchase is greatly appreciated and I try to treat each customer accordingly. Money that I make off of fly sales is currently being put towards upgrades for my raft, a trailer for the raft, and new oars for the raft. I have big plans for this raft, which I am not currently willing to share, but that news will be coming in 2026! Thank you for reading this post, thank you in advance if you make a purchase, and thank you for any support you show me both big and small.
