Being relatively new to this fly angling stuff, and very inexperienced regarding trout, and never having fished coldwater past July, I wondered what are useful tactics for this type of fishing? Our rivers are quite low right now, and my one attempt last weekend resulted in several chubs, and a couple 6 inch smallmouth, taking dries. I realize that the numbers of trout are down by this time of year, but there must be some left. We hiked beyond the beaten paths some, and tried to target deeper water, but our results were not encouraging. Available info that I have found seems to focus on waters that have good numbers of wild fish. Are the tactics the same?
