THE BUFFALO MIDGES ARE HATCHING. THAT’S THE SUPER-SIZED HAPPY MEAL OF WINTER. HI, I’M MICKEY ANDERSON FROM FISH-TECH ON THE BANKS OF THE PROVO RIVER WITH THIS WEEK’S FISHING REPORT.
THIS WEEK, LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS BIG MIDGE…IT’S A PRETTY UNIQUE ONE, IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN FOR TWO OR THREE WEEKS THEN IT’S OVER AND YOU GET TWO HOURS A DAY; ONE O’CLOCK TO THREE O’CLOCK. HERE’S THE FLIES YOU WANT TO USE. WHEN YOU START THIS HATCH, YOU WANT TO USE THE NYMPH, WE’VE GOT A FEW EXAMPLES HERE THAT WILL WORK PRETTY WELL. THE NYMPH IS KIND OF A LONG WORM, IN A GREEN COLOR. ONCE A HATCH GETS GOING, YOU HAVE TO STUDY THIS AND SEE WHAT THE FISH ARE ON. IF YOU SEE HEADS, IF YOU SEE FINS AND TAILS, THEY’RE ON EMERGERS. MAKE SURE YOU USE AN EMERGER PATTERN. THESE ARE SOME GREAT EMERGER PATTERNS, THEY’LL WORK REALLY WELL JUST AS THE HATCH GETS GOING. ONCE A HATCH GETS GOING AND THEY’RE ON THE FULL ADULTS, TRY ONE OF THESE PATTERNS, THEY SHOULD WORK REALLY WELL. ALSO, REMEMBER TO TIP IT DOWN…YOU WANT TO GO DOWN TO A 6X MAYBE EVEN 7X TIPPET. TODAY’S 6 WORKED WELL FOR US. HOPEFULLY ONE OF THE FLIES, IN THE 3 STAGES OF THE MIDGE LIFE, IS GOING TO GET YOU A FEW FISH LIKE THIS. IF YOU MISSED THE BUFFALO MIDGE HATCH, COME ON INTO FISH-TECH, WE GOT THE VERY NEXT HATCH COMING UP, THE BLUE-WINGED-OLIVE, AND WE’LL HELP YOU GET SET UP FOR THAT ONE. AND NOW FOR TONIGHT’S FISHING LINE.
