When I lived over in West TN fished the bad weather all the time in the Winter....caught tons of crappie...and White Bass below Pickwick. Still fish the winter...still catch tons of crappie....that is when I am not recovering from rotator cuff....knee replacement. About 3 or 4 years ago we had several days in the single digits. I was fishing below Percy for stocker trout....water temp was 38 degrees and I was catching nothing. Thought I had lost all fishing skills I had. I thought the colder the water the better for trout. I called Jim Habera to ask him what I was doing wrong...he started laughing when I told him what the water temp was. Thats when I found out trout will shut down when the water gets that cold...at that time I didn't know.
