45 to 50 degrees and overcast/misting rain, but you go when you can.
This is an old, small lake, and it's heavily silted in, so the average depth is about 6 feet.
I saw a couple of fish on the depth finder, but nothing wanted to bite.
Maybe after lunch.

Re: Nasty out there
Warm front came through here at the coast. Kind of humid and warmish now, but it was a foggy morning and then very low ceilings thereafter. Just enough sun was getting through to stimulate a bass feeding frenzy late. Shad were hugging the shoreline and bass were coming out of the water attacking here and there the Little bait fish. I tried to get on them with various flies. A unweighted Steve Farrar shad pattern finally got one stuffed looking 1.5# bass, then I hung up the fly on a submerged log. I tried other patterns, lost two more flies and gave up.
Fishing is fun and frustrating at the same time.

It never did clear up. At one point, I could see the hi-way bisecting the lake, but not the cars on it. I guess that's why the call it, yada yada yada. At least I got some exercise.
Supposed to be warmer tomorrow. I think I'll hit the Cypress trees and shoreline tomorrow with flies, and maybe make a mess of bluegill.
