I will say that sitting in the middle of Dale Hollow, with snot running down my upper lip and sometimes freezing to my mustache, rod eyelets so frozen that about every 2-3 cast I stick the rod in the water to thaw them out, hands so red and cold that you can't feel your fingers, 5-6 layers of clothing on (If I fall in there is no hope), eyes practically freeze open or closed as you run wide open to your next spot, toes can't get warm enough, and then the thought runs thru your head that says "What in the Hell are you doing out here when you could be home next to a nice cozy fire", but that thought quickly evaporates as the bobber sinks to the depths and the 5 pound Brownfish comes out of the water to make your acquaintance. Even without the fish or a bite for that matter sure beats the hell out of not being able to tie you own shoes much less fish due to a little thing called INCISIONS.
Its never too cold to go fishing now get out there, all of you!!!!!
