If you're contemplating a fishing trip this winter but have concerns about the weather impacting the pastime then fear not, for one angling expert has said this season can be a great time to give it a go. Fishing guru Adam insists there's no need to delay your trip to the river or lake until the warmer temperatures of spring – as there are plenty of common fish to be caught during this season. He took to TikTok to share his top five fish to aim for in the coming weeks.
Here are the five fish he claims you should be on the looking to cast for during the coming weeks, counting down in order to the species he believes will be easiest to catch. "These things will feed all winter long," Adam started. "They're really great fish to target during the cold months.".
Fisheries adds: "In short, you can catch chub almost anywhere. They happily inhabit rivers of all sizes and can also be found in lakes, reservoirs and canals. However, chub are essentially a species that seems to thrive best in flowing water with some of the biggest, and probably consequently the oldest, coming out of quite modest small rivers.
"The prevailing theory is that chub always require flowing water to breed, with gravelly rivers providing the optimum conditions. However, chub also seem to thrive in some still waters and in order to breed in those still waters they must apparently make their way to the feeder streams that provide an incoming flow.".
