Just got one word for this vid man...amazing! Dude, figure 8'ed a CATCH?🤯 Amazing scenery not to mention 38° water AND CATCHING...NO SLAYING EM??!!🤯 THAT'S RIGHT...🤔...probably don't have ta say it by now😁. Lovin the vidz bro, plz keep em comin. Peace ✌😎
Fish Hawk,great video as always,love the scenery and the locations you fish.Ive recently started winter fishing several years ago and I love it,caught many trout on the trout magnet and the black roostertail w/a silver blade,my recent catch on New Year's Eve was a 24in 6.8lb tiger trout caught out of Pennypack creek in Philadelphia.Keep bringing these fascinating videos love to watch them they keep me involved with fishing year round.Keep on fishing fellow fisherman,and keep reeling.Good luck in the 2022 season.
Followed my commitment. Keeping from getting wet is the major issue fishing in the winter. The water just pulls the heat right out of your flesh. A catch is great, but no catch and it's not quite as enjoyable as spring, summer, fall fishing often is. Bigger fish often go to deeper water in the winter. More warmth and slightly higher likelihood of finding food. Most importantly being in deeper water helps reduce the chance of freezing.
Strange...you and our mutual friend, John Dalton (Creek Fishing Adventures), both went fishing today, and you both caught only Trout! Now THAT'S cool!!!
@@FishHawk Cool! I was wondering: Because of some of your gear bearing the Fishhawk name, is that just a coincidence, or do you actually make some of your own gear? Just curious...
Good show. Thanks for producing some trout fishing. We're having another rather balmy winter in my neck of the woods. Last year, second half of February and the bottom dropped out to -2 and the electricity failed. I've been in big minus temps back in my skiing days, but last year at home my brookie got cold.
Great video I too fish all year around mostly smaller tributaries that are too thick in the summer to get into presents opportunities not available then
Our trout regs are five fish from April through November, then it goes down to two fish from December through February. With a minimum size of 8". Which is a new rule. It used to be no size limit.
Nice video. I was just out filming for trout this week and it is nicer in the Winter I feel. Definitely paying attention to the retrievals and baits in this 👏 good catching
I wish we had more trout streams like this in my part of the country. We're mountainous so a lot of our streams have tons of rocks, lose a lot of elevation in a hurry, don't get wide and meandering as the midwestern creeks and streams seem to do, and those few places which are wide and meandering tend to be so shallow and/or choked with plants, it's very tough to use a spinner; as is my preference. Still, I've been out scouting some spots. My local river *does* produce some quality browns. And hopefully, starting in late February, the water will start to come up. We had a terrible drought in 2021 that slowed many local waters to a trickle.
Trout fishing is something I'm gonna definitely miss when I move next month...I gotta trade my ultra light for a baitcast with braid...Florida bassin here I come!!
I couldn't do it only lasted 6.months down there couldn't wait to get back to the cold water streams too many mosquitoes gators rain heat etc... good luck
I cast upstream and reel it back downstream towards me. Trying to retrieve at the same speed of the water current. Fast enough to keep the blade spinning smoothly. Also trying to keep the spinner semi close to the bottom or middle of water column
😯 Wow just check out all those nice size beautiful beauties of trout you just caught. a job well done there. If it wasn't for my arthritis type two, Most definitely I'd be out there fishing myself. I have patience and I will wait and I'm not rushing April to get here. Last year went by too quick and too fast. So Pennsylvania first day of trout fishing opener and starts is April Saturday 2nd. Another great epic video that I enjoyed watching, please keep up the great work that you do.
Never stop! I had to pour coffee from my thermos on my boot laces to get them thawed the other day, they had frozen solid after leaving the river and walking to the truck 😆.
So this is new to me I really want to get into trout for winter and spring If you don’t see any in the water dose that mean that there’s not any ? Or is it that they hide in rocks really good
Trout set facing up stream so they can eat while expending the least amount of energy possible at least in a creek, stream or river. Casting a spinner or anything up stream is the most natural presentation for trout fishing and that’s why it’s so effective in any case.
Upstream is my go to. I will switch it up if I see trout that aren’t biting. I’ll try different retrieve speeds and different angles to try and get the fish to bite.
So how many times did you have to break ice off your rod tip...lol...I did sun winter trout fishing in winter and that seemed to take up most of my time
Great fishing with beautiful surroundings. Without getting personal are you wearing special waders, boots or something under them to help you stay warm in 38° water?
Thanks David! Honestly, my toes were pretty cold lol. I was wearing special pants under my waders that are made for cold weather wading. They are fleece and they have little fabric “stirrups” at the bottom that go around your heel so that they don’t slide up your leg when you put your waders on. I was also wearing a pair of wool socks with some adhesive toe warmers made by Hot Hands. The toe warmers really didn’t help at all when I was in the water. But when I stood on the bank, I could feel their warmth and it would warm my toes up enough to go back into the water if I needed to.
I noticed your doing a pretty quick retrieve.....whats the water temp ? Really surprised they hit so fast! good job....Im still fly fishing in Va.,,,wow they are almost asleep!
That's pretty cool you get to fish in the winter time where are you fishing at I mean what state cuz of Michigan are seasons close it only last from the end of April to the end of September
Hey how do u like those dryft waders and also have u ever lost the soles off your boots. I have the buckskin korkers and I love them but I lost a sole one day in the mud and it broke my heart. Lol
Hey fish hawk! Been a big fan for over a year now and just wanted to say thanks for the regular content! I’m a Navy guy originally from Minnesota and I’m currently stationed in Maryland. Do you have any suggestions on places I can fish for trout in the surrounding area?
Not sure where you are in MD (assuming Annapolis) but there are good opportunities all around. My suggestion would be Big Gunpowder Falls just north of Baltimore. It runs between Prettyboy Reservoir and Loch Raven Reservoir. Since it flows out of the bottom of Prettyboy it stays cold year round which is just how trout like it. I have never fished it (I’m in PA) but have heard the stories for years. If you want to make a day trip out of it, you can come up I-83 to York and I will take you out on one of my favorite winter trout streams (there are a lot of choices) To me there is nothing better than winter trout. I have been skunked one time in the last 40+ sessions. Let me know. There’s is only a month or so left until they close some of the streams for stocking.
There are tons of trout fishing opportunities in MD and PA. Go online and search “trout fishing streams in Maryland” and there will be tons of information for you. There are lots of stocked streams and even some wild trout streams throughout the state.
@@FishHawk Michigan, all slower moving water freezes, however bigger rivers will keep flowing, just hard to get any biting fish when the water gets so cold.
Hi. Questions for you: Do you ever use live bait to fish for trout? Also, what is the advantage of using the reel that you always use for catching trout? And one last question: what is the best way to unhook the trout without hurting it? I find that they are an incredibly fragile. Thanks -Terri M.
To unhook them, use a rubber net, leave them in the net and use a hemostat to unhook them. The less you touch the the better. If you do have to grab it, take off your gloves and wet your hands.
Any plans to travel and take channel on a tour get a fish hawk van 😂 i would suggest scotland but im biased haha wishing you every success for 2022 long time subscriber mentioned before but me and the boys always binge watch fish hawk videos at night before going fishing together in the morning keep going fish hawk
I use the spinners and never can I get something to bite. I don't even know if they chase it. I live in California and in the winter should be prime time for spinners or am I mistaken here.
Well, you may be fishing and posting awesome videos but I'm waiting in car while my woman gets her nails done. Not to brag or anything. Haha. Thankfully I have fishing videos to entertain me. Good stuff, dude.
I will definitely comment and like your videos long as you do to mine because I’m gonna start videos to hear Montanaabsorkee Montana at the Stillwater river
If I caught a fish on every cast I think I would give up fishing permanently and take up basket weaving hahahah . I'm not disappointed if I dont catch a fish on every cast ; I am thankful hahaha. This guy, at the beginning of the video sounds like he wants fish on every cast . That would make me koo koo for coco puffs and I would wanna go to talk to my therapist instead of continue fishing for the day hahahaa.
Question, are these locations in public land? On private? Do you get permission ahead of time? So much creeks and rivers my state are restricted private property.. need an app to find out if on private or not.. still get life threatened ... crazy folks.. get off my property.. even if app says is public.
I fish public and private. For private land I always knock on their door and ask permission first. Most of the time they say yes especially since I’m catch and release.
Fish Hawk always has the best trout fishing videos!
Appreciate you! 😎
As always AMAZING trout fishing. Glad to see you keep on going no matter what great job keep up the great work
Thanks Simon!
what bait are you using
Just got one word for this vid man...amazing! Dude, figure 8'ed a CATCH?🤯 Amazing scenery not to mention 38° water AND CATCHING...NO SLAYING EM??!!🤯 THAT'S RIGHT...🤔...probably don't have ta say it by now😁. Lovin the vidz bro, plz keep em comin. Peace ✌😎

Thanks for watching!
Absolutely don’t stop! Got my first cutthroat yesterday and I could not be more stoked!
Congrats! I have never caught a cutthroat.

I just bought 4 spinners from J&H. I can't wait to see how it performs up here in Massachusetts!
Good show. Thanks for producing some trout fishing.

I went fishing earlier. Winter fishing is definitely tough. But fun if you’re patient
True that!
Cold water ! Cool fishing ! You just proved something to me. Fish can be caught in icy water. Randy B.

Great fishing and videos thanks
Thanks for watching!
Just curious... Do you normally throw your spinner downstream and slowly retrieve to let the current move the blade?
I cast upstream and reel it back downstream towards me. Trying to retrieve at the same speed of the water current. Fast enough to keep the blade spinning smoothly. Also trying to keep the spinner semi close to the bottom or middle of water column
@@FishHawk thank you sir.

Awesome brother , thanks 👍
Thanks for watching!
Is there a time you choose not to cast upstream? I’m amazed at how you nail them so consistently that way. Thanks. Great content.
Trout set facing up stream so they can eat while expending the least amount of energy possible at least in a creek, stream or river. Casting a spinner or anything up stream is the most natural presentation for trout fishing and that’s why it’s so effective in any case.

@@ohmsweethohm7259 for spinners, I also find casting across at 11 o'clock and letting it bounce down stream works well.
Can I ask what type of gloves you are using? Are they warm enough in the winter? Thanks!
Our of interest do you have any closed for fishing season in the states. ie during the spawning season in winter?
38* wow.....amazing.
That was fun to watch hope you had a thermos full of hot coffee in your vehicle !
So how many times did you have to break ice off your rod tip...lol...I did sun winter trout fishing in winter and that seemed to take up most of my time
Could you do more drift/ float fishing for trout? That is my favorite!
Great fishing with beautiful surroundings. Without getting personal are you wearing special waders, boots or something under them to help you stay warm in 38° water?
Thanks David! Honestly, my toes were pretty cold lol. I was wearing special pants under my waders that are made for cold weather wading.

@@FishHawk thanks for the info. Will have to pinch pennies to get some.
That water was warm. Here in Wisconsin, if it is above 34 deg, the trout will usually hit. I'm not active though until the air temp is over 50.
I’d like to fish Wisconsin some day
@@FishHawk Come to Wisconsin, I'll take you trout fishing.
Awesome job of how may pretty trout you caught buddy! Weather and temperature is no match for you!
Thanks buddy!
@@FishHawk your welcome buddy!
How do you tie your hooks and lures on? What kind of knots do you use?
improved clinch knot
Only person who makes me want to go spin fishing too😜
👏🏻😁
Any chance you could let us know what the general location of this creek is?
I noticed your doing a pretty quick retrieve.....whats the water temp ? Really surprised they hit so fast! good job....Im still fly fishing in Va.,,,wow they are almost asleep!
I was surprised too! Thanks for watching!
I was out yesterday in the deep snow in the driftless!
Sounds fun 😃
@@FishHawk your creeks look alot less frozen though we are hopping holes still but catching them! Good video
Hey man what did you use for your main line?
Good job men nice fishing 🎣
Man the rivers and streams are freezing too quick, I’ve been visiting local waterfalls and jigging wild browns out of the pools
That sounds fun! I love fishing cool places like waterfalls
That's pretty cool you get to fish in the winter time where are you fishing at I mean what state cuz of Michigan are seasons close it only last from the end of April to the end of September
I fish WV, VA, MD and PA.
Yea buddy I caught my pb just a couple weeks ago in the blackhills in the snow about 30 degrees and a 30 inch rainbow
That’s awesome! Congrats 👏🏻

Get out I-70 to beaver Creek down to devils backbone east of Hagerstown check out the hatchery it's MD only limestone based stream 😄
I quit! LOL Been skunked lately out here on the PNW trying for steelhead not even catching cutthroat or rainbows
Nice brown trout
Fished for 2 hours today. Didn't get a single bite, but I went.
Man that waters clear
I wish I could go creek fishing in the winter, all around me are frozen ☹️

What was the temps in this video?
Awsome vid! May I ask what state you fish in?
I fish 4 different states. WV, VA, MD and PA.
beauty fish
How do you find where the fish are? I’ve gone twice now in freezing temps and I’m wondering if there aren’t any fish where I’m at bc it’s too cold.
Just have to get out there and explore. They were holding in deeper pools.
Are you wearing insulated bibs? Or nothing too crazy
