With the forecasters saying we are in for a chilly spell the next few weeks, i am taking it as read that winter is not far away. I still want to use the Method, are their any Baits that will be successful more than others during this period ?

Is that because in general the water temp has dropped a bit but if we get a warmish day those top layers warm up the quickest Nath? Or some other reason in your opinion?

hi mate, the answer to your question on fishing the method in colder months, i generally find that the smallest method in the box is best with a fine mix of fishmeal and brown crumb, and for your hookbaits dead red maggots or a very small piece of hair-rigged meat and a 16 or 18 hook.and for hooklengths i would use a 0.13 but that would be determined by the size of fish i am targetting, and the swim.
cheers

lead up to winter or in winter up in water consists of pellets with expander on hook or if really hard have the maggots ready and start feeding them with expander on hook.
gonna sound wierd but had more successfull days in winter up in water than in any other time.
just because its cold does not mean its gonna be all on the bottom, there is more to weather then temperature

hi
read this in a koi keepers mag,might be relevant,the fish themselves do not have any control over there body temperature,
it just stays about 1degree above the water temperature,so if long cold spells fish not so active dont need so much food,
and they also say do not feed any hi protien food,as being more difficult to digest .fish do not have stomachs and have to process all food in a certain time,
if not it could rot inside them.
thanks
