Wade Into Autumn HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF WYOMING’S FALL FLY FISHING
Any day is a great day to go fly fishing, unless it’s raining, of course. Luckily, here in Wyoming, the skies tend to stay clear and the fish keep biting. Fall brings a special kind of magic to the water with crisp air, vibrant foliage, and trout on the move. But if you want to bring home your best catch, you should keep a few considerations in mind this time of year. From getting an early start to using the proper techniques, here’s how to make your autumn fishing trip a splash. Prime Fly Time Timing is everything out on the water this fall. If you want the best success, start the day early when the water temperature is at its coolest. Fish are cold-blooded and highly susceptible
to temperature shifts. If the water gets too hot, it can shock and even kill the fish. As the heat of the day hits its peak, fish are less likely to have the energy to eat. The morning is your best opportunity to reel something in, and you should opt for larger flies in warmer weather to entice sluggish fish. You should also time your trip around fall hatches. Check your local fishing shop or reports from Fish and Game for more information about it. Flies That Fit the Flow During this time of year, you may need to use multiple techniques and specific flies to bag the best catches throughout the day. Dead drifting is a powerful technique that catches the
attention of fish who may not be as naturally active in the fall. Dry and streamer fishing are also good options to draw fish to your flies. Aim for eddies, riffles, and seams where fish tend to hang out, thanks to the food supply, better oxygenation, and places to rest away safe from predators. Nymphs, dries, dry-dropper rigs, and streamers are good bets for flies. Gear Up for Anything At this time of year, the weather can fluctuate during the day, so make sure you pack the proper gear to be prepared for anything. Bring layers, waterproof clothes, and breathable waders. You’ll also want to have a variety of flies so you have options for different conditions.
