More about choosing stillwater flies through the year
Fly choice on lakes and reservoirs changes with the seasons, but the calendar is only part of the picture. Water temperature, weather, natural food and the depth at which trout are feeding all influence your approach.
Our monthly collections provide a practical starting point. Adjust your fly choice, fishing depth and retrieve to the conditions, and ask the fishery about recent catches and feeding activity.
For more practical advice, explore our Fly Fishing Knowledge Base, or contact our team for help choosing.
