trout fishing in streams please let me know


You can fish for trout in winter, but they are usually in poor
condition, not worth eating, and if you catch and release them, quite
a few will die if you catch them under such conditions. Their
metabolic rate is too slow for them to recover in very cold water. You
donīt say where you are, but many places have closed seasons for trout
and other fish in order to protect their spawning.
