Cold Weax Gear

Field Team Amazon Picks - Fly Fishing Cold Weather Gear

Some of the gear referenced in our video - "Q&A - Fly Fishing Gear for Cold Weather?" posted on our YouTube Channel - COAF FIELD TEAM.

The key items to remember are:
  • Dress in layers and add/remove as temps dictate
  • Wear wool - insulates even when wet
  • Prefer stocking foot waders and wading boots over boot foot waders
  • Bring a change of clothes for the accidental "dunking"

More Urban Fly Fishing... #pond #fishing

Image
More fun fly fishing ponds on the commute. This round it’s Crowley Park, Duck Creek, and Kroger Park! Crowley Park in Richardson yielded two Bass on an Indicator Fly. Lost the Wapsi Bream Getter to a Tree Fish! Duck Creek was a morning round that caught a few Sunfish, but did spy some nice Bass lurking by the bridge. Also, lost the Wapsi Bream Getter on the first cast. This was a new one we tied that morning. Finally, Kroger Park did well; able to fish the side of the pond that had been clobbered with greenery for weeks. Wind blew it to the other side! Took advantage and fished the clear bank and caught some decent Bass… using the Foam Damsel Fly. Tied another Wapsi Bream Getter but left at home…. no worries! Was still a great time!

Mardis Gras Near Deere Keeps Working

Image
More fun catching Bass on the fly with the Mardis Gras Near Deere. Caught ten this time in just under an hour. But, had to call it quits early to go on a pizza run for dinner. No worries… still beats working! Playing the next few days by ear; will see what the change in weather brings. Pattern that worked for us yesterday and today was a fishing fly that simulated a small bait fish 1-1/2 to 2″ in length. If not fly fishing, would go with a small Road Runner of Crappie Jig on a steady retrieve using Ultralight Spinning Gear.
