    As someone who grew up fishing in MN and now lives in Vegas and never does it.....love your videos.

    Only true fishing fanatics need apply, no competition means more stealth in the hunt. Thank you for your efforts in brightening up the day.

    I fish a lot of cold weather. One tip I would like to share with you. When fishing in cold temps like that always, and I mean always, keep a little hand towel with you. That way you can dry your hands immediately after they get wet. Wet hands in that kind of cold will make one miserable. You'll be surprised how long you can go if you keep your hands dry. I can't take credit for this little tip/trick. I learned it from Kelly Galloup (fly fisherman extraordinaire). I never go anywhere fishing in the cold months without a towel tucked in my coat, waders, or attached to my fishing vest.

      Check out the Stormer Neoprene Gloves, when they get wet...you stay warm! They are not to intrusive or bulky either for casting light/medium tackle.

      I bought a 4 pack of washcloths from walmart and have one on my bibs and bucket. I'll be testing out Gorilla Grip gloves this weekend to keep hand dry when handling wet stuff on the ice.

      I always keep a small towel handy when I'm fishing in warm weather too in order to remove fish slime, sweat and sunscreen from my hands. Many years ago I was fishing with a young guy who had bought a $700 rod and reel outfit the day before but had it ripped from his slippery hands by a big milkfish in the blink of an eye. We watched in amazement as his rod and reel created a rooster tail of water being towed by the milky at warp speed towards the horizon of Darwin Harbour.

      Happened to me recently fishing in like 30 degree air temps. Hands were cold a ton and got super sick the next day. Got off the water really quick too

    Little Nattie is a badass driving through all that snow and wading through a freezing river in pursuit of her beloved sport.

    Thanks Nattie great video. What I appreciate most about you is your appreciation for all of the fish you catch regardless of the size. They all count. Stay warm and keep up the great work.

    @fishnchips7088 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So dedicated! You most certainly are NOT a fair weather angler! Hats off to you. BTW the small mouth brought back fond memories of fishing for them in the Finger Lakes of upstate NY. Epic times I'll never forget!

    @reelfishin6019 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The BIG FISH come out when its cold. I love that your a trooper Nattie and get out there when weather tells you to stay indoors where its warm. I wish there were more troopers like you down here in Texas. Love and God Bless.

    Natalie that smallmouth was a good 6,if not more. I lost a huge smallmouth in the headwaters of the Mississippi,but also caught lots of other bass,a five pound walleye and released a musky that summer day. Fished from my canoe. Your shows are amazing.

    Dang! With the size of those smallies I'd of thought you were fishing on st clair! Lol my lures have been bouncing off of the water lately 😉so it's great to see some open water fishing again! (ps it was really great and such a pleasure meeting you and Mike d on st clair a couple of months ago. Wow! You guys are so awesome thanks again for just saying hi when you met a fan of yours) 👍🏼🐟🤙

  • @jam1324
    @jam1324 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nattie up north, but not too far up north where her reel normally freezes just partially up north where it doesn't freeze enough to be used to it. Great video and even better fish =) When I am fighting big smallies like that and you feel/see your line going up to the surface because they are going to jump, I like to turn my rod to my other side to try and steer the fish out of a jump. They usually only shake the hooks in mid-air, if you can stop the jump you can prevent them from throwing it. Just have to make sure you reel in as you turn so you don't put slack in the line as you do so. Hope that description makes sense.

  • @frankzima7998
    @frankzima7998 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very cool...literally, Nattie! Beautiful fish. Not sure how cold it was by the time you were fishing, but some recommend not pulling the gills above water when it's below freezing. On some fish (trout), the gills can freeze slightly decreasing their chance of survival.
    Be safe...stay warm (said in my "dad voice" 😊)...and tightest of lines!

    @aaronwill6738 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Pro Tip!! Rustolem makes a product called never wet. Spray it on your spool of braided line before it ever touches the water, let it absorb and it will keep your line and eyelets from freezing for hours.

    That is the best fishing in these conditions. I fish for rainbow and brown trout like that and catch 10-18 pounders over 30inches. I know that type of cold not much fun but the rewards are great. Great catches!

    Glycerine, apply to rings and bail arm rollers, no more line frozen to them, works just as well with braid as it does mono.
    Once home warm soapy water gets it off before it becomes a sticky mess.

  • @Pat19997

    we used to drift fish for steelhead during the winter. Vaseline on the guides worked pretty well to keep them from freezing. center pin reels worked best in the freezing temps.
