006 - Winter Fishing on a Frozen Bitterroot Montana Valley Creek (NO FISH)
Channel: Trout Tangler
Date: 2020-10-27

We received a large amount of snowfall and low temperatures in Montana during October of 2020. This made me wonder what the fish would be doing. This video is me attempting to fish a small creek in the Bitterroot valley of South Western Montana. This is near the town of Stevensville, Montana. It is a beautiful location and I encourage you to find it!

Unfortunately, I was not able to catch a single fish. The views are remarkable and worth the adventure. This creek is usually home to rainbow and cutthroat trout and is a fun spot during the summer months. With the sub freezing temperatures the fish were lethargic and difficult to convince that they needed to be caught. This is because fish are cold blooded and rely on their environment to make the spry and fun.
