Now I know why I took up fly fishing.. Those worms taste horrible LOL... You know, I now realize that that is exactly why the fish are only biting at that one spot in that lake... The water is warmer there. It is where the Springs that feed that lake come out of the ground, at, I think around 55 degrees yr round... So, now with the lake water in the low 40's, the Springs are warmer... And, in Summer, that water is cooler, so they go there for that, and the fact that it would have more oxygen in that part of the lake...

Whatever that meant... Chuck   Isn't that how you keep the worms warm? <duck n' run>  All joking aside, 44 degrees air temp may be cold for you, but what is the water temperature for the fish?  Some fish lay deep where it is surprizingly warmer, while some move great distances to find that warmer water.  Of course, there are many other reasons - fly size, type, location/ time of day, moon phase, etc etc etc - the list of "it could have an effect" goes on and on... Just as a "take it for what it's worth", I bought a dollar store cheapy thermometer and use it as my fish-finder of sorts:  play "hot or cold" with the water temp to find the fish. Hope that helps more than it confuzzles, Pete
