Winter Baetis by Landon Mayer
Known for hatching in the spring and fall, Baetis (Blue Winged Olives) are a pleasant surprise that can warm up the winter bite. My home state of Colorado is known for year round angling in addition to 300 days of sun that can produce 60 degree temps in the dead of winter. This is enough to cause mayflies to set sail and offer the welcoming sight of trout sipping sailboats. Having both Midges and Baetis will increase the total number of adults on the surface enticing larger trout to rise.
