The only Stillwater fishing I do in winter these days is chasing big roach.

It’s pretty boring fishing (mostly long range feeder fishing) - so I much prefer my winter river fishing.

In the past I’ve winter carp fished which can be productive as the fish are sometimes very predictable.

Sitting about on a summers day is pleasant even if the fish ain't biting

But on a cold or wet day .....

Pick your days…..and your species.

I’m lucky ‘cause I’m semi retired.

Also in hot weather I have to keep covered up as I suffer with skin cancer. So I fish much more in winter.
