Last week saw many groundhogs throwing in the towel as what should be winter's last breath crept across the area.
While of not too much of consequence to the mountain trout (the days were mostly still above 40 degrees), it had a major effect on the local lakes and rivers.
As a result of the Arctic blast, fish activity was severely dampened, and evening top water action was only a fraction of what was seen last week.
The good news is that with the warmer weather moving back in, the fish activity should quickly recover. The larger bass are already in the vicinity of the flats (I spotted a nice five pound largemouth hanging out tight against a bank). Once the warmer sunshine returns, I expect these larger bass to become more aggressive before they begin their spawn.
