In Big Bear Lake, CA, we definitely have 4 seasons. Winter especially requires special attention to your bait, because the water is so cold. If you are not prepared, your bait will freeze and not melt, and then sink to the bottom. Also Trout will be hard to bite your bait even on hook # 18. Winter conditions are when the water is under or below zero.
Fishing is not true, the colder the water.
It's almost like fishing in a barrel. I enjoy fishing and skimming on ice. In the spring I dance the fish at the top of the lake, so our local Bald Eagles will go to get a light treat. I should just break the line to release.
Now back to what you should do for cold or freezing water. Yes, the fish are less sensitive when the temperature is cold. That way, you can even use high frequencies. # 14. At this point, you can use the same pound test line of your pole for the leader. Just bend the treble tines to show your bait outside.
Rainbow Glitter PowerBait, like the whole year, is best used. Therefore, it will not freeze, I mix it with Zekes white trout bait, and it is soft enough for the trout and does not freeze. Just when the water drops above 32 degrees, then go back to the # 18 high-frequency and 3-liter tests.
Also new Snap & # 39; g The hook setter works incredibly here in this lake. This makes it too easy. I never miss my limit. You can read about it on my fishing page in Bear Valley News Fishing Report.
The bite for Winter lasts until the end of October, when the lake water turns over.
If you have any questions about trout fishing, I'll just send an email.
