Staying warm, and on the water
One of the most important thing to remember when
winter fishing is staying warm, so wearing
layers, and even bringing extras in the car is
very important to staying on the river all day. I
even buy my waders a size up so that in the
winter I can fit more layers underneath. Keeping
yourself dry is another huge tactic, so carrying
a small towel with you can be very helpful for
after you get your hands wet when releasing
trout. A good pair of gloves goes a long way and
I generally have a pair of latex gloves with me
as well.
Latex is not going to keep you warm but it will
keep you dry and that can make all the
difference. Dont be afraid to take a break, go
back to the truck and warm up. Keeping a warm
thermos full of coffee can be a great treat on
those cold days on the water, and a good meal
will help as well. Just remember to take care of
yourself when your on the water, this will keep
you sharp and most defiantly bring more trout to
the net.

Where to be wetting your line
Most of the time your going to want to spend your
winter days on the water in Colorado on one of
the many Tail water sections threw out the state.
If you can find some open water on any of the
freestone rivers, I would surely give it a go
because those fish are defiantly going to be
hungry and see a lot less pressure.

Staying warm, and on the water
Most the time in the winter I will start my day
sight fishing, looking for the hungry trout that
are feeding. I generally start with a small
indicator rig and go from there, with the water
being supper clear they do get a little weary of
indicators so keep the color mellow or lose it
all together. I have had great luck with naked
nipping so dont be afraid to take the indicator
off and watch for the eat. Time of day is also of
importance when winter fishing, showing up to
early and the fish will probably be very slow.
Mid day always seems to be the best, look for
anywhere the sun starts to hit first.
Basically there is no rush to be on the river in
the morning. once the midges start coming off the
fish will become much more active. Lastly the
guides on your rod are probably going to freeze
up and there are a couple of tricks Ive learned
over the years to fix that. Cooking spray works
well, so does sunscreen and also float ant, so
make sure you grease up your rod before you hit
that water so you dont spend the whole day break
off ice chunks and potentially breaking your rod.
