About

Winter fly fishing is a great way to target healthy American trout and large rainbow trout, even in cold weather. We will reach the river by walking through the snow on snowshoes. In winter, the riverbanks that are densely vegetated in summer are covered with snow, making access easier, and you can enjoy discovering the trees and animal tracks along the way.
