in winter, do you still put as much bait in as in summer or do you hold back as in still waters

Depends what fish you're on- a shedful of chub may need more that a peg full of roach, similarly some days you can catch a lot on a little, while other you may need to feed plenty to stimulate fish. If the water's coluored, a decent amount of bait loosefed just to provide a visible 'clump', as too little may just get lost.
In rivers, some fish feed better in the winter than summer, the classic example is chub, which are also notorious for wanting a lot of bait.

I fish the river stour for Roach alot in the winter and as a ruke i feed less but it really depends on how the session is going if the bites are coming thick and fast then i will keep putting in the feed. But if there has been a frost and its slow then feeding can be the kiss of death. Start little and often and see how it goes would be my advise.

when we all used to fish the trent it was standard practice to feed very sparingly first off, increasing the feed through the match as the fish came on but once you'd really got em going, easing back off with the feed to keep the fish competing, then feed heavy for the last hour to hopefully pick up some bonus chub, of coarse if your on the chub straight away you'd feed more but very dependent on the swim, if it's a fast stretch you need to be very carefull what and where your feeding, the last thing you want is fish following the bait to the bottom of your peg, the whole idea should be getting them as close to the rod end as you can.
btw the last two seasons i fished on the river i was totally converted to hemp n caster instead of maggot both on stick and the feeder, won me a lot of matches and a decent amount of coin.
hope that helps
paul.
