The Best Time of Year to Fly Fish in Minnesota
Minnesota is home to some great fishing getaways. The beautiful lakes, rivers, and streams in Minnesota provide ample room for fish like trout, muskies, crappies, walleye, bass, and northerns to name a few. While it’s possible to fish all year long, even in the winter, the best time of year for fly fishing in Minnesota is the fall. Not only are the changing colors and the cool crispness to the air beautiful and refreshing, but the fish love to bite in the fall. Winter is on its way and the fish know it. They need to fatten up for the lean months in frigid waters and under the ice. This makes them more active during the day, and they also tend to gather into bigger schools. Here are some tips and tricks for fly fishing in the fall.
