Cold weather is here to stay, at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere (and if you are in the southern, say fishing in Patagonia, well good for you!). And while most of us trim back a bit on our cold weather fishing, there is no reason why you need to give it up completely. In fact you shouldn't. As long as you gear up appropriately, winter fishing can be fantastic, whether you are swinging for steel or coaxing winter trout. The key is layering and moisture management, using well-made products that make smart use of materials. Here are a few things to make you a little more comfortable out there this winter, products which we've used and recommend.

As you well know, we've had a lot of rain and wind throughout this fall so fishing in both fresh and saltwater has been a matter of finding the "right" days to be out on the water. Both our Connecticut and New York rivers have experienced unusually high water which has made wading on several of our rivers difficult. In the salt, it seems like it has taken a longer than usual amount of time for the action to crank up, although there have been some good moments in-between - especially with the Albies, which came on strong in early October for several weeks. There is some decent Striper action at the moment, but the Blues have been missing in action. And the huge balls of bait that hugged our beaches last fall seem to be absent as well this year.

Lots of on-and-off rain has our Connecticut and Catskill rivers still at very healthy flow levels. In the Catskills, due to the increased release in the Cannonsville and Pepacton reservoires, rivers are still too high in most places for wading. In Connecticut, the Farmington River has remained very wadeable but the Housatonic is still too high for safe wading. After forecast rain events today and tomorrow, rivers should begin rapid drops to wadeable levels. River temperatures have come down nicely - (in the Catskills due to a combination of cooler nights and increased releases from the dams (Cannonsville Dam is releasing 1499cfs and Pepacton Dam is releasing 678cfs.) Water temperatures in both Connecticut and Catskills range from the low 50's to the mid-60's.

We're kinda on a cusp at the moment. On both our New York and Connecticut rivers, we've had weeks of unbelievable heat which has, in general, driven water temperatures into red-line zones. Yet in the Catskills, heavy rains caused consistent dam releases on the tailwaters keeping the rivers cool and high and resulting in some off-the-charts streamer fishing and pretty great dry fly action as well.
