fishing the green?

[Anthonygreer]

The green fishes better in the winter than it will all year... nymphing, that is. You cant beat terrestrial and cicada fishing! Anyway, there is little to no pressure this time of year, and the fish aren't seeing very many flies, hence, they are easier to catch. I would suggest fishing streamers early and late, then nymphing the majority of the time after that. Pheasant tails, hares ears, soft hackles, copper johns, zebras, scuds, worms... just about anything should do the job. I wouldn't fish anything bigger than a size sixteen though. Fish a big, bright attractor up top, then a smaller morsel below, like an egg/barr emerger, or bugger/soft hackle. Pick up some weighted buggers, and use them as the weight on your nymph rig... You'll like the results
