Trout Nymphs and Misc. Flies
Nymphs are a great choice year round. The "under water" stage of many insect life cycles can last from 3 months to as long as 3 years. That means that these larvae, pupa and nymphs are available to fish all of the time. It's said that up to 90% of a fish's diet is comprised of nymphs.
