Thread: After our first cold front

We had our first real cold front this week .
Today was the warmest in a few days @ 62 and sunny ,while I was fishing , with an occasional gusty wind.

I started off at the mill creek . The water was still a little high and fast .
Fishing with a 1/64 tungsten bead jig I caught two small redbreast in about thirty five minutes. I lost two jigs on underwater snags . Including my leader .
After losing my Floroclear leader , I didn’t get another bite..

I packed up and drove to our town pond , stopping by the house and swapping out rods .
At the pond I float fished mainly because of the wind had gotten up making twitching tough .
I had two short bites that pulled the float under , but they must have nibbled on the tail .
I switched to a mini trout magnet on a size 10 sickle hook jig and after several casts , I finally hooked up with a fun size shellcracker.
Both combos were 4.5’-5’ Major craft Finetail glass travel rods , the first rod was paired with a Daiwa Legalis lt 1000s , the other was a Daiwa Fuego lt 1000d . Both with Daiwa J-braid .
The fish felt cold with the lows getting down into the thirties lately .
Slowing down the fishing . This time of year , I take whatever is willing to bite.
Supposed to warm back up around seventy tomorrow, before the next front .

Always a good time. Glad to hear that somebody is getting out. The ramps are now open and the flood waters going down so I’ll probably do my traditional outing in the morning. Hope you get out for a little before you peel potatoes.
