Winter has hit the Dream hard this year and boy is it cold down there. Fishing has been decent but don’t rush yourself out of bed to get to the river. Our most productive window has been 11-2 so have a good breakfast drink your coffee and take your time getting down south. Flows are low but that has made for some awesome sight fishing opportunities. For the most part fish are coming to the net on your winter time standards like midges and small baetis nymphs but don’t be afraid to lead with a larger scud pattern or leech even with these colder temps. We have been having better luck closer to the dam these days and seeing some higher water temps as well so I would focus from the barns to the dam for your most active fish.
