Midges and Scuds are tiny minutiae extremely important in winter. These are a trout's daily bread and butter.

( Though many of us love to fish dries and swinging wets, Midges and micro crustaceans are a trout's bread and butter in the benthic bio drift in winter as pictured above.

July 25, 2021 By Matthew Supinski

Big Browns love Hoppers

( Cover image- A gorgeous brown that engulphed a Morrish hopper on a stunning Wyoming spring creek in the blistering heat for hopper mad Greg Senyo) Many trout anglers look at the dog days of summer with disdain.
