  • Top 5 Winter Trout Fishing Tips
    Thinking about heading out for some winter trout fishing? Then I have some winter trout fishing tips to help you be more successful on the water. As fall transitions into winter, start to change the trout fishing tactics as you head out to target winter trout. In my lastest trout fishing tips video, I share my top 5 winter trout fishing tips to help you catch more trout in the winter time. Winter trout fishing can be some of the best fishing during the year, and you don't want to miss those days of epic trout fishing, especially during those snowy, cold winter days, which are my favorite. And remember, you can't catch trout from the couch.
    And remember, the outdoors is a gift, share it with others 🎣

    Don't fish in slow shallow water. Target slow deepwater. Unlike summer the deeper water will actually be warmer than the shallow water during the winter.

    • @fluxcapacitor05
      @fluxcapacitor05 7 месяцев назад +1

      This conventional wisdom is not true. The deeper water isn't always warmer, the shallows can be warmer if the air temp is higher than water temp. When middle and upper water columns reach equilibrium with air (usually deep into the winter), then slower deeper water will usually be warmer because of less interaction with cold air. But if air temp is higher the upper water column (late winter, for example) fish will seek the top column, ie in the shallows because that particular depth is warming in contact with air.

      Yes. But every body of water is different. Change colors, sizes, presentation types until you find what works on the body of water you fish. I've had multiple trips going to the same water without catching anything. Keep your head up, try some different things and stay positive!

      I've fished a lot in the White Mountains. Yes it applies... actually everywhere to be honest. Or rather, it "can" apply. Silver Creek outside of Show Low is very, very slow current, to the point you sometimes can't even see it flowing. Very low current water systems have a tendency to reach equilibrium very slowly, so keep that in mind as you figure this out -- there will be a larger lag that water will take to warm or cool down in relation to average air temperature. It's also spring fed, which typically means a much more steady temperature year-round. But obviously not always steady... it will still have variation day to day, through the day, and closer or farther from the spring. Don't always employ the same "fish warm, fish deep" philosophy. Instead consider where you think the warmest water would be? The depth fish are at will be in relation to the air temperature, since that is the largest impacting variable on Silver Creek. If water is cold, low 40s for example, and the water is always moving slow, and the air temp is in the 50s, it could very well be that fish will be near the surface because in that scenario the upper water column is being warmed. If the water is in the 40s and the average air temp throughout the day is in the low 40s, high 30s, it will probably be a terrible day of fishing downstream of the spring and all of the fish would have focused on water closer to the spring. Ideally, I would typically find larger pools a good walk upstream (almost a full mile hike) from the carpark, since that will place you closer to the spring and allow you to adjust to depth depending on where you anticipate trout to be in relation to water temperature.

      It's not that you won't catch fish. You have a higher percentage of catching fish in the mid to later part of the day. In the winter I catch 90%+ of winter trout from 10:30am - 4pm.

    • @WillyFish
      @WillyFish  3 года назад

      The colder water temperatures make it tough for the trout bite. Cover more water, smaller presentations and fishing different presentations. With those cold temps you somedays just have to get the presentation right infront of them for a bite. Cover lots of water and find pockets where the sun is hitting directly on the water and you might find that slightly warmer water is where they are hanging out and give you a better chance at a bite! Best of luck when you get back out there.
