Discover the secrets to fishing a two-nymph trailer rig with this winter tightline nymphing tactics guide. Target trout in slow, deep runs where they’re most likely to hold during the colder months. I’ll walk you through achieving a natural drift by using upstream casting techniques, letting the flies fall naturally through the water column, and maintaining contact with the flies by managing slack with your line hand. Watch as I land winter trout using an egg pattern with a zebra midge trailer, a setup perfect for reaching fish at the bottom of the river. Whether you're experienced with Euro-nymphing or just starting out, these tips will improve your success this winter.
