What are the best fall fly patterns? Although most people think of trout fishing as taking place in the spring, the fall months can present trout fishing opportunities that rival spring conditions. Excellent streamer fishing opportunities open up as trout bulk and become more territorial prior to the winter months.

Midges are one of the most important food sources for trout. They make up about 25 percent of a trout’s diet and are available year-round making it a popular winter pattern. The pattern we will be covering today is the frostbite midge.
