An excellent winter fishery, the Big Wood can have strong blue-winged olive hatches in early November. The blue-wings are typically size 20-22 and are matched with a Sparkle Dun. As the weather gets cold, midges will dominate the action.

Size 16-18 red Copper Johns or red Brassies are a good fly choice, too, and it doesn't hurt to carry some size 8-10 olive Woolly Buggers to use in the deeper water. Make sure your nymphs are on the bottom.

For more on November tactics and flies, see the Rivers in General report.
