Brown Trout and Weather. 02/08/2012
Everyone knows weather plays a big role in fishing. Light conditions and water clarity determine what colors to use and wind might determine where the fish are. These conditions change effect the moods of fish. There is an endless variety of conditions that anglers need to adjust to everyday in order to be successful. One thing I've been able to count on over the years is that brown trout love snow! Looking back at some of my most successful fishing trips over the last few years I came to realize that snow days are brown trout days. Snow has been scarce this winter but the fish reacted just a well when we did get some. During our first decent know of the winter I happened to get out to a harbor I've neglected a bit over the last couple of years. It did not start snowing right away but the fish were ready for it. I caught a nice brown trout on a shallow diving stickbait just minutes after I set my lines. I trolled out to some deeper water and the action never stopped. Over the next few hours I land sixteen brown trout, lost three, and had numerous other drive by hits. The best baits ended up being a Purple Tiger Flicker Shad and a Green Speckled Thin Fish. If you are up to some cold weather fishing, get out there when it is snowing! CommentsJon 02/14/2012 16:54
