Cold Front Fishing HACKS for Trout

Trout fishing in the winter fishing can be some of the most rewarding fishing of the year — but it can also leave you scratching your head. One day, you’re crushing it left and right. The next, nothing. Same spot, no bites. Sound familiar? Don’t worry — you’re not alone.

Cold fronts play a huge role in how trout behave this time of year. That’s why in my latest video, I break down how to fish during both prefrontal (warming trends) and postfrontal (cooling trends) conditions to stay consistent.

Whether you’re fishing shallow flats or deeper creeks, there are specific strategies you can use to put more trout in the boat.

Here’s a quick preview of what you’ll learn:

Chocthawhatchee Bay has bayous vs creeks. Spring/ summer around Eglin AFB flats is always good. So how far (miles, yards) will trout and Reds ” move” ? Will they seek deeper water very close, or travel several miles to the bayous? I just can’t see all the fish migrating up Bogey Bayou from Eglin flats. That’s a LONG way. But shoot, I haven’t found them all winter. And yes, the entire west flats of the bay get heavy pressure. As does the North…anywhere to escape the winds this time of year.

Very good and concise tips Pat. I like that you use your good and not so good days of fishing in your narratives. Even the pros have some difficulty at times.

Pat, any thoughts about trout continuing to migrate towards the deep areas up creeks and rivers through January and February or do you think some spots with heavy fishing pressure just get tapped out?
