Jefferson River - Winter Fly Box

Fish the Jefferson like you know it — because now you do.   The Jefferson River Winter Fly Box is hand-curated specifically for the conditions, hatches, and trout behavior you'll encounter on the Jefferson from December through March. The Jefferson slows down in winter along with its trout. Midge fishing in the slower, deeper sections produces steadily for anglers willing to fish fine and slow.   This box is built around the Jefferson's winter hatch calendar — midges. Every fly was chosen with tight-line nymphing in slower, deeper water in mind, giving you exactly what you need to match what the fish are eating at this time of year.   What's in the box: 36 flies total — 18 unique patterns, 2 of each — covering midge larvae, zebra midges, scuds, and small soft hackles. No filler. No patterns that don't belong on this river in this season.   Pro tip from the water: Fish the slow inside bends and deep holes in winter. Jefferson trout aren't moving fast — put the fly in front of them and let it hang.   Whether you're making your first trip to the Jefferson or you fish it every season, this box gives you a proven starting lineup so you can spend more time fishing and less time digging through bins at the fly shop.   Includes a quality waterproof fly box. All flies are hand-tied to Bozeman FlyWorks standards — the same quality we'd put on our own lines.
