I am so excited because March is here and this is the time that I think of fly fishing again and those huge honking Brown Trout that I catch on the Bow River south of the city. Fishing is extremely simple, I nymph with only 5 or 6 flies: The Evil Weevil (of course!), Red Devil, BWO Killer, Acetate Worm, Neo-Twenty Incher, and the Stoned Prince. I have caught so many huge trout on stones, I wanted to share the Neo-Twenty Incher as it is perhaps my most consistent Brown Trout killer.
