Never Miss Out on Epic Fishing Again
Previewing our new fly calendar to track hatches and yearly fly fishing events
February 2024
We're booting up a new tool: the Western Fly Calendar to make sure you never miss out on your favorite hatch, or the best time to chase a gamefish. It's like a synopsis for all the happenings in the fly-world for each month. We combined the idea of a hatch chart with seasonal, behavioral information about gamefish to provide a snapshot of monthly events for relevant species, plus related notes and tactics.
- If you've ever wanted to chase a certain hatch, check this out!
- If you've ever wanted to find the best time to chase a new species, check this out!
- If you've ever missed a certain fly-related outing because your timing was off, check this out!
- If you've ever wondered which baitfish streamers are best during certain times of the year, check this out!
Our goal is for this to be the first step in planning, to present a generalized view of a typical fly fishing year. I’m already anticipating using this to help plan some spring trips for lake trout and wiper!
Don't miss out, it lands 3/18/2024!!
