It may be tough to brave the harsh winter weather on some
days, but it’s all worth it when you return home with a nice large fish. That’s
especially true when it comes to catching winter trout. Whether you’ve never
fished for winter trout before, or it’s been awhile, take advantage of the
following tips to catch more of them than ever before.
One of the most important things to remember is that trout
aren’t quite as fast in the winter. You’ll want to search for fish in areas
that are a constant, moderate temperature throughout the entire year, like in
tailwaters. Once you locate some trout, you need to adapt to their winter
behavior. They slow down, and so should the angler. They won’t be moving around
quite as much, but they can still be easily scared off.
During the winter, most fly fishers try to use anglers that
imitate small insects, which make up more than half of a trout’s diet during
the winter. There are several great options to choose from, including black
stoneflies and midges. You should also avoid using big strike indicators, and
instead use a piece of yarn.
These are just a few tips to help you get started if you
plan on fly fishing in a colder climate throughout the winter. By following
these suggestions you should have no trouble bringing home some winter trout
and other types of fish. For more fly fishing tips and suggestions, keep
