A Simple One-Box Winter Solution
If you want to take the guesswork out of winter fly selection, we’ve built a loaded winter fly box using the same principles outlined in our winter fishing guide—fewer flies, proven patterns, and smart organization.
This hand-picked assortment combines slim midges, confidence nymphs, and tungsten-weighted anchor flies to cover nearly every cold-water scenario. Inside, you’ll find winter staples like Zebra Midges, Lazer Midges, Pheasant Tails, Frenchie Jigs, Duracell Jigs, Perdigons, Walt’s Worms, and a handful of proven attractors like Ray Charles and Prince Nymphs—all balanced across sizes 14–20 to match the hatch without overthinking it.
Each fly is mounted in our JHFLYCO Magnetic Fly Box—ideal for winter use thanks to its easy-access magnetic base that performs well even with cold or gloved hands. Compact, secure, and highly visible, it helps you stay dialed and efficient in frigid conditions.
Included Patterns
3 of each pattern – 39 flies total
-
Lazer Midge – Olive (#20): A flash of green adds just enough visibility in ultra-clear winter water, making it deadly on picky tailwater trout.
-
Nickel Bead Zebra Midge – Black (#18): A classic winter pattern that imitates small midge larvae; highly visible and productive in deep, clear pools.
-
Zebra Midge – Red (#18): Slight color variation draws strikes when trout key in on blood midges or want something just a bit different.
-
Zebra Midge – Purple (#20): A go-to confidence fly for pressure-heavy fisheries; subtle yet attention-grabbing in cold, low-light conditions.
-
Hot Head Ray Charles - Pink (#16): A standout sowbug/scud imitation with a bright head that doubles as an attractor in off-color or glacial water.
-
Hot Head Ray Charles - Orange (#16): An alternate scud pattern with a bolder profile and orange trigger—great when pink gets overlooked.
-
Tungsten Bead Duracell Jig – Purple (#18): One of the most consistent jig nymphs for winter; gets down fast and rides hook-up to reduce snags.
-
Tungsten Bead Perdigon Jig – Purple (#16): Slim, heavy, and built to cut through the column—ideal for euro or tight-line nymphing in cold flows.
-
Tungsten Bead Walt’s Worm Jig (#18): Simple, buggy, and versatile—imitates everything from cranefly larvae to caddis with subtle movement.
-
Beadhead Soft Hackle Flash Pheasant Tail (#16): Offers a hint of movement and shine; deadly when fish are eating mayfly nymphs near the bottom.
-
Beadhead Frenchie Jig (#18): A tactical favorite that blends natural tones with a hotspot collar—ideal for selective winter trout.
-
Beadhead Prince Nymph (#14): A larger anchor nymph that still produces in winter—classic peacock body with just enough flash to trigger curiosity.
