Fishing in cold weather may be rather challenging and offers a lot of distinctive challenges that anglers don’t have to deal with when the weather is “good”. For the intents of this article I’m not referring to ice fishing, in my opinion ice fishing is a completely dissimilar animal. I’m referring to fishing like you normally would, the only divergence being that the weather is colder.
Without boring you with a diatribe on bundling up and layering, which I assume you are well conscious of, I’m going to focus on the actual fishing. not just the fishing, but the fish themselves. Cold weather may have a dramatic affect on the fish themselves.
As the weather gets cooler, the water temperature plainly gets colder as well. as the temperature of the water drops, so does the body temperature of the fish. seeing as how fish are cold blooded, this drop in body temperature has a dramatic effect on the fishes behavior. Fish become much more sluggish in cold weather and accordingly it’s a god idea to remunerate attention to when you’re fishing.
In colder water temperatures fish don’t feed as much, so paying attention to other constituents that affect their feeding conduct is important. The easiest things to remunerate attention to are the weather and moon. when I refer to weather and moon, I’m referring distinctively to the moon phase and frontal systems that pass through your fishing area. These two things have a dramatic affect on fishes feeding patterns, and that affect is multiplied when the weather is cold.
Paying attention to the weather and moon is more comfortable than you might think. as a matter of fact, a half an hour or so of study will do wonders to support your fishing success in cold weather. were you conscious of the fact that fish bite better for the duration of sure phases of the moon? It’s true, and fishing when the moon is in your favor will help your catch rates.
The other big thing to keep in mind when fishing in cold weather is your hands. Keeping your hands warm is of the utmost importance. But a heap of times us anglers still need the use of our fingers when fishing. this is where a pair of quality fingerless gloves comes into play. They may be the divergence amidst fishing and going home to get warm. believe me, I know this is unfeigned from experience.
The bottom line is that fishing in cold weather plainly offers galore dissimilar challenges than fishing in other weather conditions. Familiarize yourself with the weather and moon and keep your hands warm and you’ll be much better off. oh, and don’t forget to layer up and all that.
