Is it all nymphing in Winter? is it as crowded as I've heard?

other suggestions for Winter FFing? in the West


It isn't ALL nymphing, but it's mostly nymphing. Take lots of midge
nymphs. San Juan worms, eggs, and chamois leeches are very effective.

It isn't as crowded in the winter, but it's still too crowded for my taste.

Also, if you go to the San Juan, a short trip to the Animas (around
Durango, CO) is worthwhile.

I've been searching my limited knowledge to come up with a good winter
destination for trout for you, and I'm coming up empty. Maybe New
Zealand? :-)

I've heard on good authority that the Provo in Utah is good in the
winter, but I have no first-hand knowledge about it.

Silver Creek, which you know well, is gorgeous in the winter and
sometimes fishes decently, but no hatches to speak of that I've seen.
Duck hunting is very popular, though.

My fishing is on hold for awhile. No winter trip this year, unless
something irresistible comes up. I'm getting in shape for the XC ski season.
