12 reasons to swing for trout in the winter
FRED TELLEEN: GREAT FALLS, MT
It’ s better than riding the couch
A little couch time and a football game or movie is great, but far more enjoyable after some quality river time. I truly enjoy a good couch session during a blizzard, but I can’ t enjoy the couch during daylight hours if there are fishing prospects.
Wade shallow and cast long
No need to freeze your tender bits. The beauty of a long cast is that you won’ t need to get close to the fish holding water.
You can alternate warming a hand in each pocket
Cast and begin your swing with downstream hand in pocket and upstream hand on rod. Switch hands in the middle and finish swing with downstream hand.
You can sip a beverage between casts
Cast, swing and use your free hand to take a sip of belly warming coffee, coffee with a tasty adult infusion, hot chocolate, hot chocolate with a tasty adult infusion or simply some straight infusion.
