Fish For Trout In Deeper Water When The Weather Turns Cold
Is it ever too cold to fish? I don’t think so.
However, on Sunday morning, Brody (the amazing fish finding and stock trading dog) said that it was. The air temperature was 21 degrees and the wind chill felt much colder. We debated what to do and decided to fish in the afternoon when the temperature was a bit warmer.
After lunch, Brody and I bundled up and walked out to the skiff. The sun was shining but it was still chilly. As we pulled away from the dock, the surface water temperature was 47 degrees. I put a blanket on the deck for Brody. He dragged it into the sunshine, curled up and went to sleep. It became clear that I would have to find fish on my own.
