New to fly fishing

My wife got me a fly rod and reel for christmas and I am walking the floor waiting to get out this spring and give it a try. I live not to far from the delaware river were it is open for witer trout, I would love to try winter fly fishing. but I don't know what to use as flys. I am thinking nymphs and would appreciate any help on what to try. Thanks, noodle one

    Nympths in dark colors,wooly buggers in dark colors fished deep and slow in the deeper water.Wear a wading belt and cleated boots and a good idea would be to NOT fish alone,if you fall in the cold winter water you don't have much time before you freeze up.....be careful!

    I always bring along some midge patterns, griffith's gnats ansd sucker spawn.

    Greatness is not measured by what we have,
    but by what we give. 
    If I were to give our children but one thing, it would be the gift of euthusiam!
