Yosemite Fly Fishing Guide A lot of anglers live or fly fish in places that only allow seasonal fishing opportunities. Yosemite National Park is my home fly fishing water and it's rivers are closed to any style of fishing until the last week in April.
There is no reason why this part of the season has to be considered down time, even if you can't travel to fly fish those bodies of water that are open to accommodating your fly.
I like to use this time of the year to re-organize my fly boxes and to re-tie flies that I depleted over the past fly fishing season. For example, last year produced a great stonefly hatch in the Yosemite area and I ran out of almost all my size 10-16 stoneflies. Needless to say, they are at the top of the list this winter, plus many more, including my newly created "Yosemite Stonefly".
The fact is, a well organized and prepared angler will be able to spend a lot more quality time on the water in the summer time, therefore catching a lot more trout.
