        We all know that in the depths of winter when the sun shines on the water and the water temperature rises just a fraction the fish will have a little nibble, especially in the shallow water and how fish will congregate around a hot water out flow.

        My question is what if i cupped in hot water from a flask into the shallow water will the small rise in temperature encourage the fish to have a go but only in my peg?

          the answer to ur question is NO. the cupped in water would soon cool, the amount of water ur putting in would not cover a wide area and be stable enough for the fish to respond to, so my advice is to forget that idea…

                Why not carry a camping battery to your chosen spot and attach a 12v camping kettle heater to the end of your pole. To maintain voltage and current you might consider a dynamo attached to your seatbox geared to an old bike frame and pedal like a thing possessed!!~clap

                Failing that do what I’m doing this weekend staying in or finding a spot on the river for a couple of hours spinning or trotting a stick.

                  I have often thought that heating a venue maybe with pipes or something would be the way forward but would work out very expensive

                        Pouring hot water in would work, but you would want it running though a hose, and after a few days the peg would be solid once the fish found the warm area.

                        Pouring a cup full i would last less than a second i recon!

                        I have heard of it being tried once before though to be honest, lol.

                            Thats right fish are attracted to warm water but how do you supply a great quantity of warm water ?

                                  Hey, don’t knock this until you have tried it. I stumbled across this little trick a few weeks ago.
                                  I had not had a bite for the first 3 hours of a match recently and I took a leak in the margins. Within minutes there was signs of fish exactly where I had gone. I dropped me rig in and clunk, a 5lber first drop then nothing. So I tried it again and low and behold after a few minutes signs of fish down the side and sure enough another good fish of about 4lb. This continued until the end of the match. The slight rise in temperature obviously did the trick.

                                  Anyway I was packing away and my mate Steve had packed up early and was trudging back to his car. “What you had” he said. “Oh about 30lb” I replied.

                                  His reply ?

                                  “Oh, you’ve p—-d it”

                                  I’ll get me coat.

                                      I’m sure I read somewhere about a speci hunter spodding hot water straight out of a kettle.~think

                                        I’ve certainly read about a carp angler feeding baits (particles if I remember right) that were still warm. I think it was more to do with the attractants releasing rather than the temperature mind.

                                          Easy way to test it. Fill a bath with cold water then pour in a cup of hot water from the kettle and see how it feels to your hand. After a couple of seconds the hot water will be as cold as the rest of the bath. Thats in approx 100 gallons of water, so it would cool quicker in thousands or millions of gallons of cold water. Unless there is a constant input of warm water concentrated on one spot over a prolonged period of time, it won’t make a difference.

                                          Gav, oils release from hot particles better but in cold water they wouldn’t get much further due to the quick chilling down that would happen.

                                            take a look at bbc news europe,there is a video clip titled “a cool trick with a cup of hot water at -40c”.the reporter in Siberia throws a cup full of hot water in the air,and it instantly vapourises into snow !

                                              It seems funny that our cold weather clothing is better than it ever has been but less people go fishing when the weather is bad.
