Soon after the Majestic Appalachian Mountains have lost their dazzling yellow glow of autumn and head into winter,  tourists begin their mass exodus, leaving the countryside nearly deserted.

During the winter months the majority of the Majestic Appalachian's best  fisheries are frozen in suspended animation.   Many waters in the Appalachian Mountains stay fishable on all but the coldest days.    

Mayflies and caddisflies continue
to hatch throughout the frigid season, keeping the fish active.  Experienced anglers know that some of the best fishing is just arriving. 

Nymph fishing is also popular in the Majestic Appalachian Mountains.  

When flies lay their eggs in lakes or streams the eggs hatch into nymphs.   As the nymphs make their way to the surface the fish eat them.    If the nymphs reach the surface without being eaten they will morph into flies.  This cycle continues with the nymph.

Some sportsmen perfer fly rod fishing because there is a lot of action in fly fishing.  For those of you who don't know what a fly looks like:

With a fly rod the fisherman attempts to hook the fish and stop it from spitting out the fly,  keeping it on the hook until the fish gets tired enough  so that it can be netted.      

Fly fishing in the Majestic Appalachian Mountains is fun for the whole family.  Anyone who loves fishing will have an unforgettable experience!
