So....Duck pond at low tide?

Unless we have a string of 65 degree days and relatively high nighttime lows (mid 40s-50s), don't expect the river to warm up too rapidly. That water will still be cold. However, not a problem as far as catching fish goes. Look for areas with a combination of clean, shallow water and dark bottom in close proximity to deeper water. Sure warm water discharges hold plenty of fish this time of year, but so do a  bunch of other areas. In the winter, actively feeding fish will move shallow on sunny days to feed, especially in areas where the water is warmer i.e. places with mud bottom, rip-rap, or wooden structure. Think Duck Pond more so than Chain Bridge this time of year.

Hey all, this is my first winter season fishing around here, so I'm trying to figure out the dynamics of the river in relation to temperature.  It's supposed to be 65 degrees this weekend!  How does that affect water temperature / fish activity?  Will "non-warm water discharge" areas be active or does the river not respond that fast?

I'm thinking about heading to chain bridge, but could be convinced otherwise.  Thanks in advance!
