Mild Winter May Deliver Good Summer Fishing
Most anglers know that the weather plays a huge role in fish activity and angler success. Cold fronts can shut down a hot bite while an imminent thunderstorm can turn it on.
But what about our mild and goofy winter? Could it affect fishing this spring and summer?
Indiana fisheries biologist Jed Pearson thinks there’s a good chance it could yield a good spring and summer fishing season.
Pearson is a fish researcher who has been studying winters’ impacts on northern Indiana lakes.
“When we look at what’s happened on a handful of lakes we’ve studied, we’ve found that more and better habitat is present when overall winter and spring conditions are warmer and drier than during those seasons that follow colder, wetter years,” he explained.
When he speaks of habitat, he’s talking about water temperature and oxygen levels that affect the space in which fish can live comfortably.
