Winter is not over, so look no further because here is your sure cure for cabin fever! With sudden warming trends, we have seen some good BWO and Little Winter Stones attracting fish to the surface for some dry fly action. When there is no visible rising fish, we can always fall back on nymphs on a dry dropper rig or two or three nymphs dropped under an indicator. I certain conditions, the streamer enthusiast can trigger some "t-bone" strikes from some heavier predatory trout.

Reds are chewing and happy when sun is out. Stripers are the go to on cloudy days. I haven't been out on the water too much so as of late it has been so nasty out.

BWO's, Little Winter Stones and Cream midges are standard hatches during the winter months offering some dry fly action if the wind lays down. If we have higher winds dead drifting larger nymphs under an indicator or stripping streamers to punch into the gusty conditions. ❄️😊

Fishing on Lanier has been pretty good most days. Fish are in their usual patterns. Most day feeding on small threadfin. Trout and herring and shiners tend to be the go to. The Bite for me seems to get better as the day progresses. Water temp is in the low to mid 40s. Finding the high concentrations of bait is key to success. Down lines free lines and boards. Don't be afraid to bump banks and docks big fish use the shallower water to warm. Using Mini Mac's is also a key trolling 1.3 mph 40 feet behind the boat can also pickup reaction strikes. Don't be afraid to get out on the water in the cold, fish still have to eat.

Water flows exiting the Buford Dam is hovering at 50-53 so even though we are experiencing cooler air temperatures the fish are happy and active all winter long because of our unique thermocline in Lake Lanier. Consistent dry fly in the afternoons with hatches of Little Winter Stones, BWO's and Midges. Post spawn activity with the brown trout still aggressive on nymphs and streamers.
