Anyone been out winter Season Trout (Fly/Spins)???

[HeavyFish]

Hey has anyone been out around SE minn on any streams fishing spinns or Fly for trout lately?? Just wondering if there is any advice on where a guy might want to hit up this weekend?? I have been to South Fork of Root River and didn't have much luck there although I spotted some there. So just curious what anyone has to say about their luck lately. Let me know if anyone is going out this weekend. Thanks

Fished a section of the Whitewater last weekend and caught 5-6 small fish on PT's and one decent on a midge trailer (13"s).

First time winter fly fishing, had a really good time.

I might try Saturday.

Hey Heavy,

Welcome to FM! Fishing's been good from what I hear. I've only been out once and that was on the opener. This weekend will be frigid, so dress warmly. The trout will be sluggish with the big drop in air temperature and subsequent drop in water temperature, but any opportunity to fish is an opportunity to fish if you're up for it.

Thanks both of you for your reply's I wish I could have gone out there this afternoon, it is awesome out for some Troutin' yeah I heard it was going to be cold so that might be a little bit of an issue but I think i might venture out even though. Does Forrestville sound good to anyone at all?? or any other ideas of places to venture out to.

Thanks

Went out with the dogs for a walk around the Root river area and scouted around a bit, didn't fish too much just took our two goldens for a walk and got the line wet on Sat for about 30 mins caught three browns about 10-13inches respectively. On Sunday I again took the boys and things were pretty much fozen up where I was planning on going so I didn't do much again, but did have some more luck with some browns, much smaller that day though. It was overall fun and cold, the dogs loved it.
