Thomas.T 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2011 Hi all, I am new at fly fishing the early season in New Brunswick, Canada for brook trout, I have been told that nymphs are the best but i am having trouble deciding what ones to tie and use. If anybody has any answers for me that would be great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyfishing99 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2011 If you do a google search for "hatch chart for......". Put the name of the area or river in the search. Check the resulting chart for the insects hatching at that time. I would "guess" that the answer might be March Browns and blue wing olives. Then look up fly patterns for the insects listed. Hope this might help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anybody has any answers for me that would be great. I'm in West/central Maine. When fishing the small rivers here in late April and early May I use a small yellow streamer (size 10-14). This does fairly well on Brookies and Browns. Kev <>< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey all again, now that fishing season is here, i was wondering for newbrunswick if there is any point to go fishing where all the rivers and brooks are flooded and currents are fast. being a new fly fisher should i travel the hour drive to fish brown trout, if so what flies are good to use.

snowranch 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 Flooding streams area a waste of time, fish aren't in the feeding mood, they're usually holed up behind an obstruction staying safe. Brown trout (mature ones) like larger offerings such as minnow imitations, crawfish, leeches and etc. Keep your fly along the bottom when possible.

If anybody has any answers for me that would be great. Early season Newbrunswick is very cold. Brookies will be very lathargic. Small weighted nymphs and worm patterns, brassies, discoes prince, san juan and of course flashback pheasant-tails, high sticking deep and slow.
