If my memory is right you made a statement once on here that the Norris smallmouth really turn on in rain or bad weather. That's been my experience there in the spring - 2 years ago in April I dodged lightning bolts for 3 days and probably got only 1 full day of fishing in but caught more 2-4 lb. smallmouth than I could count.

My question to you is this--in your experience does that hold true in wintertime as well?
