Fishing For Winter Brown Trout in Ohio!! (Mad River)

[@JRegerWVOH]

As I mentioned in the other video, We haven't had a lot of water, so the winter stockings haven't had a chance to move around, and they kind of get stuck.. but now after last week, this is no longer the issue haha

Awesome video and nice trout man! Cool channel too, I’ll definitely subscribe

[@MidwestAnglingAdventures]

@@Michigananglingadventures thank you! I’ll check yours out as well

Any advice for good access points for a new trout angler in and around the Springfield area? Mostly concerned about parking. Like the video!

[@MidwestAnglingAdventures]

@@8bitfrenzy376 yeah there are several great spots around Springfield. The Eagle City road access point is a good one. If you walk downstream about a quarter mile, there’s a bend that usually holds a few fish. Also on route 55 just north of Springfield, there’s a gravel parking area where you can get in. If you walk upstream and around the bend, there’s a deep hole where I’ve caught a few.

@@MidwestAnglingAdventures Much Appreciated, I'll try and get out there time and weather permitting.

[@MidwestAnglingAdventures]

@ good luck! I hope you catch some.

[@johnmckee744]

Find a nice inlet spring or creek that flows into that river you won't regret it

[@MidwestAnglingAdventures]

Those are definitely areas that I would usually target when it comes to trout and smallmouth bass fishing but for whatever reason, I never have much luck in areas like that on this river.

[@johnmckee744]

@MidwestAnglingAdventures use a topographical map to find tributaries Corp of engineers or DNR should have them for navigational purposes

[@johnmckee744]

Moraine looks like is closest

[@johnmckee744]

I hit a spot one time off Albany Illinois Mississippi we caught roughly 1500 fish all varieties in 2 days

[@johnmckee744]

When it gets warmer spring

[@jaredhuntz3346]

What type of line and test are you using?

[@MidwestAnglingAdventures]

6 lb spiderwire braid with a 6 lb seaguar fluorocarbon leader

[@jaredhuntz3346]

@@MidwestAnglingAdventures I met a guy on the river today using 2lb test haha! He was drifting salmon eggs in the current.

[@MidwestAnglingAdventures]

@ that’s super light. I’d be a nervous wreck if I hooked a big one lol

[@MasterBaiter513]

Do you think I should use a leader on 6 lb mono as mainline, going their this weekend gonna try my luck

[@MidwestAnglingAdventures]

I think you’ll be fine without a leader. I only use one because I prefer to run braid as my main line and it’s green so it sticks out like a sore thumb in clear water.

[@Wolf_Pack513]

Sometimes when you keep dropping fish its because they arent fully committed and short strike it and dont get the hook. Try switching to a smaller profile bait on those days or even a trailer hook.

[@MidwestAnglingAdventures]

I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip!
