Snow and cold are a non-factor

I would probably approach this stretch from downstream on the left bank in this picture. I'd probably start off with some sort of dropper rig. Maybe a caddis on top and a bead head bidge of some sort below it. I've had some success with that set up.
I would start on the left side of the bank as well and quarter cast up stream to the the left side of the seam shown in the pic. As for flies, I would use a good dry (stimulator) or something that is going to float nicely and then put a tungsten zebra (size 1and off of that, if you feel lucky, an even smaller mercury midge (size 22). Or, I would just use a strike indicator with a mercury midge and a small amount of weight putty.
Size 12 stim, drop a size 18 beadhead GRHE or SJ worm.

I'd approach from downstream and keep quite low.
And I'd take the water temp....if it is REALLY cold 33 degrees or so,I'd say that there is no nymphal activity. If it has been that cold for a while, then those fish are HUNGRY. Provided the hole is not too deep ,say over 5 ft, then Id pop a bushy dry to the inner seam or to any sunny shallow spot on the edges of the pool.
If it is deeper, id inch a minnow or sculpin immitation along the bottom....slower the better.
If the water is a bit warmer...35-40 say,then a small nymph sunk deep and crawled accross the bottom may be the best bet, or a small midge on top may produce.
Spinner1....I really like these posts. thank you!

If at all possible, find where the spring heads empty into the stream and fish right below them. In the dead of winter, the spring discharges will be 5 degrees F warmer (or more, in some cases) than the stream water. Definitely approach from below, get real low, and minimal false casting...

I realize this is a typo but if you can imagine the picture that popped in my head when I read it.Originally Posted by PaGuy
