hi there.. im wondering if its stil lgood to fish for trout in rivers
from this time of year onward?
im talking about mainland rivers such as the bollin, the wye and rivers in those areas.

wht kind of things am i gonna have to take into consideration this time of year as i find teh fish get harderto cath?... so im left wonderign what i mdoign wrong..

i know as much that the fish tend to stay in deeper regions of the water
.. so waht things should i do to have a successful days fishing during the cold months?

The trout season closes on most rivers in Sep/Oct time and dosen't reopen until March/April (there are some regional variations but most rivers are closed to trout fishing between this time).
So to answer your question about what to do during the winter... tie some flies and take up fly fishing for pike!

Or fish for stocks in a pond.

Hi Chizzers
You can have some fantastic sport in the winter months fishing for grayling. They are a lovely sporting fish and you will be able to take them on the nymph or the dry. For a few tips, check out Phil's website:

I am a bit out of touch with the NW scene but you can find good grayling fishing on the Dee in North Wales and also in west yorks.

bit alarming that you arent aware of the law surrounding what you do

October 1st is the start of the season over here in the south Island for most streams and rivers.....booked some hols already...roll on mid october

pelorus and rai, the motueka then upto investigate golden bay and farewell spit.....although I may get out around the first as well just for a weekend or something upto some closer rivers in the alps around Christchurch.

Lake fishing is a good option in the off season.
Different tactics, but you don't have to go for huge lakes and huge ugly lures. Small is beautiful.

And in the light of criticism that you don't know the law, this might help

remember there's no closed season for rainbow trout though so if you have any rivers with a head of rainbows in it you can fish for them....

Hardly a critisism, just an opinion, there are some heafty fined doled out if you are caught out of season... accidental catches are inevitable, but that is different to ploughing on blindly
