trout fishing

if its open, small flasher, wedding ring, 12" leader & night crawler trailing.. is your best hope for this time if year. and troll fast, but pretty cold for lake fish, youd be better off fishing steelies

I do all the time. Beaded nymphs, streamers, or egg patterns. if the water isnt very clear or really deep I use a strike indicator as well. Not very much action but still a lot of fun

okay and more after getting out of the house and doing something haha

That works great you could replace the flasher with popper gear. And for a wedding ring I always use the double wammies with the bigger blades and re-tie them with 5 pound leader and smaller hooks. Another thing to try is trolling straight power bait at slower speeds. If neither of those work throw dynamite that always works!

i know its a bit early to start thinging about trout fishing but man i have missed  it and my son is starting to get mre interested in fishing with dad so im super excited  about it this year.

Never too early for fishing!  Depending on where you are there are lots of winter options.  A little far from you but Lake roosevelt or Rufus Woods are two great places for trout fishing in the winter.

How do you get the trout to bite in cold water temps?

I used worm tipped jigs in creeks and rivers. I get pinpoint accuracy under overhanging brush and I know exactly where it is in the drift at all times. I found this to be better than the business end trailing in the current someplace 2 ft. away from the weight.
