			<description><![CDATA[ dgatar the stream that I am referring to is the Elk River.  The river is starting to rock with the little black stones, sizes 22 an 24, but the size 16&#39;s
and 18&#39;s are slowly starting to come off and by the end of this month thru mid march they should be starting to come off heavy.

			<description><![CDATA[ Midges can happen any time on our spring fed rivers, but for bigger bugs...olives and caddis..we need a warm evening and warm temperatures on the following
day. Last Friday was in the mid forties and it warmed up to 50 that night...Comfy 70 degrees and rising fish all day Saturday...Small gray caddis,,bought a
size 18..some larger tan caddis. Cheers.

			<description><![CDATA[ Obviously depends on where you&#39;re fishing, but in the western states, winter means mostly baetis or midges. Midges are around almost every day, but it
takes a nice calm, almost windless day for fish to get on them. Baetis tend to hatch on the warmer days, say 40 degrees or so, and then can produce some great
dry fly fishing. A good baetis hatch will get the fish going even on a breezy day, and baetis seem to emerge well even on windy days. Of course various nymphs
can work too, but you... ]]></description>

gets down deep pretty quick. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The late Chauncy Lively of Pittsburgh wrote of an early black stonefly dry fly pattern in the April 1974 issue Of Pennsylvania Angler. It was tied on size 20,
fore and aft hackling trimmed flat above and below the shank with scissors. Slight dubbing between the hackling, and the piece de resistance was the wonderwing
dorsal wing. A wonderwing was made by stroking the hackles barbules on a dry fly hackle in the opposite direction and coating with vinyl cement (Flexament
works too). It was then... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ On March 24, 2008, I opened my personal trout season at a little, native brook trout stream in southern New England. I began by turning over a submerged rock
to hold my stream thermometer in place, and found two small Early Black Stonefly nymphs beneath. The water temperature was 6 degrees C (43 degrees F.). So I
guessed that I wouldn&#39;t be catching any fish, but still I strung up the Paul Young Midge to make the first casts of the season. I tied on a slender black
nymph and fished a... ]]></description>

Also watch for early brown and black stoneflies and fish small stonefly nymphs or skitter dry stones on warm days.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ On my spring creeks I typically watch for the midge hatches which are numerous. The one fly that always predominates are the small winter Stoneflies.
They&#39;re nuts and tons of fun.
<br>
<br>
Ours go about size 16 or so and you can Google up a generic imitation that would work well. I usually go with small, black Elk Hair ties. Small, dark nymphs to
imitate your local bugs do well but I always rely on a #16 GRHE or similar and remember to fish it slowly...and deep! Also most weedish streams... ]]></description>

</blockquote>Brassies.  Sometimes following a dryfly, which (here in Montana) they almost never bite.
<br>
But the dryfly does make it easier to keep track of where the brassie is.

Pods of rainbows will often sip midges in surprisingly frozen conditions.
