I would have to go with dale hollow hands down.... when that water temp drops below 55 degrees..... them shad start shivvering and get lethargic adn them big ole brownfish get a rumblin in their belly and its is on..... the nastier the day the better..... overcast single digits snowing sleeting everything but high winds and u can get out of that too...... Aint the water kinda hard up north in the winter???? but if u wanna catch a big smallmouth dale and someone said we dont have the growing season for them brown fish but ours should be better than up north cause of the longer summers and stuff... plus our waters dont get as hot as they do on further south... plus our reserviors are deep too..... oh and the world record smallie came out of dale hollow...
