The last couple days of November were pretty warm, so I got ready to go fishing on Sunday, 12-1-08. Well, I woke up, got ready, gathered my gear, and walked outside to find several inches of SNOW! (Mind you, I ride a bike or walk, so riding a bicycle through snow several miles to Wildcat wasn't too fun).
When I got to the spot, the bridge near Creasy in Lafayette, I found a great surprise! I near dead 19-20" smallie (Sad it was dying, but happy it was THERE! Now I know there is potential). It was fat too, definitely eating. I didn't have my knife on me, so I couldn't check it's stomach contents, oh well.
I fished all the deep holes I could get to without my waders. Tried a clouser, black wolly, hair's ear, and a price nymph. Fished 'em slow and on the bottom. No hookups. I was glad to be out there though. Next time we get two or more 40+ degree days, I'll be out there again, but WITH my waders.

Don't worry though, next time I go this winter, I'll be waking ya'll up from this 'hibernation' you speak of.
