Jig colors that worked last week will likely have to be changed. Muddy water will require opaque colors. Glow colors like lime, orange, and chartreuse are good choices. Glow, Road Runner heads will improve visibility too.
Conditions with reduced visibility make scent more important. Try a scent additive like Stubby Steve’s.
Post cold front fish will want a slow presentation. The high pressure that follows the front will move fish down. (Barometric pressure reduces the size of a fish’s bladder.) Start fishing deep first and work shallower. Keep an eye on your line. Bites will likely be very subtle.
River conditions offer special challenges. Look for eddies where fish can rest from heavy currents. Many of these eddies will still be swift, so look for the slower moving ones as you fish. Remember; lakes will be easier and safer to fish.
Bundle up. Be safe. Adapt to the new conditions for success.
