Reply To: Trout fishing in murky water

Ah, grasshoppers,

Locked down in Dojo I am.  Happy for me to see grasshoppers are thinking about fly fishing still.

As the saying goes, dark and murky, go big and gaudy. If fishing in the middle of murky water you find yourselves I recommend throwing larger than normal flies – rubberlegged stonefly choice is a good one.  But don’t forget along shore line where many big fish will line up – less murky there because of depth and speed of current. Fish that are down low in the middle can see those bigger flies but you must get flies to them. Along shoreline don’t forget to fish also.
