Hola, todo el pescado capturado esta semana han estado en las ninfas ... En concreto, el Fire Fly de la foto en el "Fly Destacado" ... He estado pescando en la mañana, el agua está fría y no he visto ninguna actividad de mosquito. Por las tardes, si sale el sol puede haber algo de incubar mosquitos ... pero no he estado fuera entonces ... A medida que avanzamos hacia la primavera y el clima es más cálido Eariler, que debe comenzar a ver mosquitos alrededor de 10 o 11 de la mañana ... Estoy deseando que llegue. Saludos, Doug.
