If you like to fish and you don’t mind the cold weather, there is plenty of great fishing here in the UK during autumn and winter. Fishing in cold weather is very different than warm weather fishing, but with some helpful tips, you can be just as successful and have just as much fun. Let’s take a look at some of our favourite cold weather fishing tips that will have you catching more fish in no time.
6 Cold Weather Fishing Tips You Need To Know
Be Patient And Try Another Spot- just because the fish aren’t biting in one location, doesn’t mean that you should pack up and go home. Be patient and try another spot because, in the cold weather, fish tend to shoal up tight and leave large areas of the lake without a single fish.
Fish The Right Time Of Day- in colder weather, there are three times of day when you will be the most successful: early morning when there is still frost, when the temperatures are at their peak for the day and the final hour of daylight.
Use Natural Baits- the baits you used in the summer won’t always work in cold weather. Instead use natural baits such as worms, casters, maggots and bread.
Use Highly Visible Baits- brightly coloured baits are easier for fish to see when the weather is cold. Add bread or sweetcorn to your bait bin and attract more fish, even the ones that have shown little interest in your other bait selections.
Check Cover When Cloudy And Open Water When The Sun Comes Out- even in cold weather, fish will still hang out in swim cover areas. But when the sun comes out, they will typically move towards open water where the temperatures will be higher near the surface. Fish will avoid areas with dead or decaying leaves, reeds and other plant life, so avoid these areas when fishing in cold weather.
