Owski - You definitely want it worse than me that's for sure...I don't much care to fish when it gets this cold, mainly because it seems like it's more of a pain in the butt, having to fight the ice in the rod eye's and on the reel spool, etc...But I can definitely see the bright side of fishing under these conditions too: a) having the lake to yourself, b) the beauty of the snow falling around you and c) getting to experience an extremely hot bite like you got yourself into. Thanks for psoting!
