WHAT HAPPENS TO RIVER FISH IN WINTER (Under the Surface)

Описание: When winter grips our rivers, many anglers assume the fish simply vanish. Cold water, short days, empty banks — it feels lifeless.
But beneath the surface, river fish are still there… still moving, still making careful decisions.

In this video, we explore what river fish actually do in winter, looking at cold-water metabolism, holding areas, reduced feeding windows, and species-specific behaviour. From chub and barbel to roach, dace, perch, and pike, winter doesn’t stop fish feeding — it reshapes how and when they do it.

This isn’t about fishing harder.
It’s about understanding winter rivers — and fishing smarter.

🎣 Topics covered:
• How cold water affects fish metabolism
• Where river fish hold during winter
• Why winter feeding happens in short windows
• Species-specific winter behaviour
• Flow, floods, oxygen, and winter movement
• Why winter fish feel more “difficult” to catch
