Fly fishing in a frozen mountain creek? It’s not easy—but the reward is big trout in an unreal winter setting! In this video, I take on the challenge of fishing icy waters, breaking through shelf ice, and presenting flies to sluggish winter trout. It’s a tough but epic adventure, and I’ll show you exactly how to make it happen.
Along the way, I answer key cold-weather fly fishing questions, including: • How do you find trout in a partially frozen creek? • What flies work best in freezing conditions? • How do you get a natural drift when ice buildup changes the current? • What gear keeps you warm and dry in extreme cold? • What’s the best way to approach spooky trout in clear winter water? • How does temperature affect trout feeding behavior? • What adjustments do you need to make to hook more fish in the cold?
Winter fly fishing is next-level challenging, but it’s also one of the most rewarding ways to chase big trout. If you’re looking for a mix of adventure, strategy, and stunning mountain scenery, this is the video for you!
