Fishing Still Hot in the West

Besides the frigid cold winds, I absolutely love fishing in the winter. I got out today and struggled at first locating the fish. 3 hours into the day I found them on a main lake hump in 4 feet. I didn't expect them to be there being that the water temp is in the 45-47 degree range. We caught 7 fish with the smallest being 2.5. I'm very fortunate to live where the water doesn't freeze. We have the opportunity to fish all year although I don't take advantage of it as much I should.
