Many people assume you cant fly fish during the winter. The truth, is for those who are armed with the courage to face cold temps and a good pair of waiters, winter brings solitude to even the most crowded of rivers and occasionally some really good fishing. The insect life might slow down a little, but I promise you Trout eat all winter and with a few pointers you could be out there catching them. If you can’t wait until summer to test out that new rod or reel you got for Christmas here is a link to a great 10 Tips on Winter Fly Fishing podcast with Orvis’s Tom Rosenbaur.
10 Tips for Winter Fly Fishing
Lillard Fly Fishing Expeditions was started in 2010 as a graduate thesis for my Master's Degree in Environmental Conservation Education at NYU. The operating premise was simple - by coupling amazing wilderness fly fishing camps for teens with environmental education and service learning we can help inspire future generations of fly fishing conservationists. We have been growing our unique list of trips and experiences ever since.
When it comes to choosing a summer program for your teen the options are endless. For the teen who loves to fish, be outside, and has a strong sense of adventure we have made the choice easy. We are the leader in teen fly fishing adventures and are dedicated to providing the best backcountry fly fishing experience with opportunities for teens to engage in leadership training, community service, and backcountry camping.
Sincerely,
Will Lillard, Founder/Director/Guide
