Snow and freezing temperatures do not mean the dry fly equipment needs to be put away. For ambassador Beck Brooks, rising trout are a year round occurrence on the tailwaters of western Colorado. The Frying Pan is a famous example, but these tips and tricks will work anywhere bugs are hatching as temperatures start to fall.
From matching the hatch to presentation, these are some of the most pressured trout in the world, but with a bit of patience and dedication, they will still rise to a well-presented fly. High fish numbers occupying every water type work to one's advantage here, though to be successful, you must crack the code on any given day. That's how Beck makes a living as one of the premiere Roaring For Valley guides. Watch to see how he approaches these fish late in the season when the bugs get smaller, the fish get pickier, and winter sets in.
