What to tie on at Woods Landing Resort Area
Picked from recent reports for this stretch.
Olive Woolly Bugger
Fall is prime time for aggressive trout on the Little Laramie River. This versatile streamer effectively imitates leeches and baitfish, provoking strikes in deeper pools and runs.
San Juan Worm
With heavy snow and potential runoff, aquatic worms are dislodged and become a primary food source for trout. This pattern is essential for attracting fish in turbid water.
Buy at AmazonTungsten Bead Pat's Rubber Legs
Large stonefly nymphs are always a substantial meal, and a weighted version is crucial for getting down to fish in cold, potentially high flows. They remain active year-round in the riverbed.
Buy at AmazonFlashback Hare's Ear
A versatile general mayfly nymph imitation, effective year-round. Its flash and profile are excellent for deeper or off-color water typical of spring runoff.
Buy at AmazonHendrickson Nymph
Hendricksons are a key early spring mayfly hatch, and their nymphs are active subsurface. Trout will be looking for these as a significant food source despite the cold.
Black Woolly Bugger
A staple streamer pattern, this imitates leeches and sculpins which are active even in near-freezing water. Stripping this slowly through deep holes is highly effective for lethargic spring fish.
Pine Squirrel Leech (Olive)
Small leech patterns mimic sluggish baitfish and annelids in cold, early spring water, enticing strikes from larger, lethargic trout.
Zebra Midge
Midges are a year-round food source, particularly important in cold water when other insect activity is suppressed. A black or red Zebra Midge is a reliable producer.
