So who's out piking in the snow!!!

Think I'll be fishing for the first time in snow tomorrow!!
Anyone else out tomorrow and have you fished in the snow before!?!

yes fished in the snow before, but wont be out tomorrow cos it will probably still be frozen over like it was this morning

Frozen over? Still water or a flowing river?

Good luck tommorow mate,, minus 14 today,up the hills, stuck it for a bit, no takes, only me fishing, most of the swins i fish were frozern, i had a deadbait out, and the line was freezing to the rings on the rod. only went out to try a few lures, pleased with the action on the lures, just a shame i didn't hit a fish..started snowing at around lunch-time, time to pack up, the hills not the place to be stuck when it's snowing.

Still water, did drive past the river on way home to have a look but got absolutely no confidence river piking so didn't bother

I won"t be out but not because of the snow,I only fish weekdays.
Had a few in the snow but not a biggie, would like a nice pic of one for my calendar.

River piking is the only piking I feel confident in doing
Can't see the point of still water piking, I like the enjoyment of roaming about and finds good swims and features.

I'll be river fishing tomorrow

I did try it once was sure i was gonna catch but didnt, so it shattered my confidence, maybe try again one day, Now carp fishing is different i always fish the river for them

I love piking in the snow. havnt got a problem with it at all.

This weekend though, looks like i will be pulling molly around on her sledge. loads of the white stuff due here early hrs tonight !

I'll be out Monday and hopefully Tuesday afternoon. Hopefully no work comes in in the mean time!
Rivers are easlier as you can GENERALLY gauge where the fish will be! 80 acres of still water hmmmm... where do I start
