Zone 2 Depths And Flies

[Jack Jones]

I'm planning on fishing Zone 2 this winter. I've never been in it. I've usually been content to just stay on the banks of Zone 1. Gonna throw those waders on though and see what I can get.

Can someone share the typical depths in Zone 2? If want to know generally how far up my leader to set the indicator. As a new nymph fisherman, I plan to use this season to gain the experience in detecting strikes/setting my hooks.

Also, what's some of the more productive late fall/winter nymphs and sizes to use? I don't think I have anything in my box that smaller than a size 16 and I'm curious if I should stop at Tim's to pick something smaller up?

I too would be interested in knowing this information.

In most places its deep enough for fish to swim...

For the most part...

you can see the bottom all the way through...

Always stop off at Tim's...

Just to pick on him

Yeah that was probably helpful. Too bad you are not a GOOD comedian, you could get you a job on the strip.

Thanks for backing me up Gallagher so I don't feel totally foolish.

Leonard, I loved it! That is definitely a Rooster Cogburn style answer. Thank you.

I will likely stop at Tim's, but always nice to have an idea of what I'm going for before I get there. It's just so darn easy to get into a buying frenzy. Like going grocery shopping when you're hungry!

You can only wade the area from dry hollow to about 300 yds below the F hwy bridge, this area is very wadeable, even with the recent rains it will Only

be over 3' in a few places, no wading anywhere else in the park during the winter C&R season

Water only came up a bit over a foot, it will be in good shape on Friday. High water helps slow down the snaggers.
