It always amazes me how few fly fishers fish with tiny Midge imitations, particularly in winter when Midges are generally the only flies to hatch. There is not a single day in the year that some Midges do not hatch on our lakes & rivers.

On the spring creeks, tributaries of the Yellowstone River at Livingston, (Armstrong & De Puys) we encountered hot, sunny weather with a brisk wind during the middle of the day. Surface activity was mainly confined to the mornings & late evenings with massive hatches of tiny chironomid midges plus a few very small Blue Winged Olive duns & spinners.

Fly fishing in Japan with a zero weight rod and small dry flies for Cherry Salmon.

Fly fishing for David Southall is about people. Fly Fishing is less about the catching and it is, for David, about who he meets. Fly fishing in the UK especially has a special meaning for people.
