Last winter was my first in the sport. And man it was a grind! I couldn’t seem to catch anything, but I kept at it nonetheless — fishing every day over 45F.
I was encouraged to keep at it & the practice would pay off come spring (if not earlier).
It worked out. I caught this brown toward the end of winter & continued getting on great fish throughout the spring.
To any other anglers struggling through their first winter… keep at it! Also, throw midges. Not what I got this guy on. But in the depths of winter, midges were about all that got consistent bites for me.
