Default Early season tactics

"cb" wrote in message ...

I started fly-fishing last summer and really started to enjoy it.

However,
nearly all of my fishing was done on the surface with drys, or in very

clear
spring creeks (I live in WI) with wooly buggers, etc. In my first
early-season trip last weekend, I didn't see or catch a single fish.

While
I don't mind not catching anything, I really felt like I was just flailing
about without direction. Could anyone offer some advice, or references,

on

What was the water temperature in Wisconsin
in March? Adirondack FF gets to be productive
when water levels reach 50 Fahr., approx. May 20.
Most FF anglers do not start until then.
Diehards use streamers or big weighted nymphs.
