Fishing Over the Winter Holidays

[Eliot Waxman]

All,

It appears that I'm going to have a few days to myself to fish over the winter holidays.  Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might go and hopefully catch some fish?  I think the only limitations at this point are that I should stay in the States and it shouldn't too remote given the busy travel season.  Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Not so far away, but worth a winter trip is Pennsylvania. Keystone Flyfishing, the book, is full of good info on PA destinations.

Tamiami Trail in Florida. Drive until you see a cool spot and fish it. Keep moving until you find fish. Peacock bass, Mayan cichlids, Oscars, snook, baby tarpon, largemouth, and all kinds of other weird cichlids are all on the menu. Size 6-8 ep minnows in white, gray, tan, olive. Bring a lot. You’ll lose a ton in the trees on the other side. Size 4-6 gurglers in black, purple, and white for the early morning. Seriously fun fishing that is totally DIY. Winter is the best time due to lack of mosquitoes and tolerable daytime temps. Plus bigger snook go into the backcountry in winter, so you always have a shot at a 30+ incher (although most will be 12-20).
