It was cold with snow flurries but not as cold as last week when a friend said there was ice all the way across the river! I was hopeful that the winter weather would keep other anglers home. I was wrong. I looked up river to the cable hole and I saw eight anglers. I looked down stream and saw 3 anglers. We were lucky to be in the parking lot hole and have some space. Hard to believe it was so busy on a mid-January morning.

We found the fish willing to take a variety of midges. To me, there really is not a lot of true science to fly selection while on the South Platte River in the winter. Midges, midges midges. There was no "secret fly." Black, red, white, olive. They all worked and none of them worked. Some with beads and some without. When none of them worked, we went smaller; 22-26 hook sizes.
