Holdovers
 

Throw what at them and how?
Back water flats and holes

Chartreuse rattle traps with no tail hook and pinched barbs with a red gill teaser was my secret weapon when I was targeting them.

M-80,s :happy:

tiny soft plastic/jighead... real slow.

small zoom fluke if you want simplicity

dead drift shrimp flies, especially in the dark hours

Swimmers in the dark. I prefer mambo minnows

Thanks gents,
Gonna get my fix this week...

many places are better at night ><>< some only at night >,.

With or without the M-80's ... :-)

Mid to hi 60's Wednesday , tin boat day...

Boy back in the heyday, my winter blues were cured by holdover fishing, at the Thames in CT at first and later in some nice local waters. A 50 fish day was a slow outing back then and I probably averaged at least a dozen over 20 lbs throughout the winter; my biggest a 42 lber in the Thames late in February. All on a 3/8 oz kalin ultimate jig head and my smoke/holigraphic glitter 4" spit tail.

Gup . thinking the same thing <.

Those were the key days to get those bigger holdovers up in skinny water which warmed up quickly. If I were home I’d probably be uncovering the yak to give it a shot.
