you know, i thought the same thing. why would i want to fish with a fly rod? it only took a few missed strikes to change my mind. i like dry fly fishing because its so visual. its topwater, watching for the strike and then setting the hook at just the right moment. it took me several attempts before finally hooking one! i didnt think anything could compete with my desire to fish with my downriggers... now i will do both. (but still mostly downrigging and vertical jigging lakes)
tubeN2 is right, trout are available at all times of the year. when its cold most of the action is subsurface on wet flies, lures, and baits. i have yet to be sold on wet fly fishing as it lacks that topwater excitement... but, maybe i'll come around!
ive caught trout all winter through the ice, so you can still get plenty of them!
