As the water temperature drops in the fall and through the winter, trout usually concentrate into slower and deeper holding water. This is an energy-saving tactic at a time when their metabolic rate drops, and the activity of their food sources is also sparse. If you have been used to being able to nymph the faster water for fairly easy-to-catch trout, it is important to shift your strategies when targeting winter holding water.
In this helpful video, Devin Olsen of Tactical Fly Fisher takes you to a piece of winter holding water. Devin guides you through the changes he makes to thoroughly work a piece of water. With each change, a few more fish come to the net.
