Fly Fishing in March Podcast by Harry Murray
In this months fly fishing podcast I will be discussing the tactics for fishing the mountain trout streams by revealing the insect hatches and the flies which match them.
The Quill Gordon Nymph will be appearing on the streams the first part of March. By fishing a Mr. Rapidan Bead Head Nymph size 14 on a Trout Nymphing 9ft 5X Leader using an upstream dead drift technique will help you have success on landing that trout.
By the middle of the month I switch to a Mr. Rapidan Parachute Dry size 14 fished below the lip of the pool.
Since there will be so many hatches happening in March many fisherman like to fish a dry and dropper to cover the top and underwater. I like to fish the Mr. Rapidan Parachute Dry size 14 on a Classic 7 1/2ft 5X Leader with a 2 foot dropper below with a Mr. Rapidan Emerger.
Fly Fishing Podcast for Bass
You can get some great bass fishing in March by floating the rivers and fishing the back eddies. These back eddies can range from 10 to 50 feet long and 4 to 8 feet deep. Using heavy flies such as the Magnum HogSucker size 4 and Tungsten Marauders in black or olive size 4.
