Every single time I plan a session in winter I have to hear how cold it is and that I will get sick. It doesn’t matter if it is a day trip or an overnighter.
One thing that is important for me on the bank is comfort. With the right equipment even the cold can’t dampen your spirits.
Lying in my Sonik 5 season sleeping bag with my Ridgemonkey bobble beanie waiting for my Sonik SKX to scream I was quite cozy in fact. Of course the kettle boiling up a storm for a quick cuppa also helps in heating up the bivvy.
There is also nothing better than getting up at first light, breathing in the crisp air and watching the water with steaming mug of coffee in hand.
Winter fishing is all about catching the bigger and better fish, however I also enjoy the quiet that the season brings as there are less people on the bank.
