Of Fish & Fishermen

When it's cold, fishermen congregate around the fires. A mealtime, they gather around the table. When weariness sets in, they find couches or beds.

Fish really aren't much different from fisherman, and the angler who keeps that in mind has taken a big step toward finding and catching fish on regular basis. Beginning with that mentality, it simply becomes a matter of figuring out where the fish will find hints of warmth on a cold day, a supply of food at mealtime or a comfortable place to rest.

Extreme conditions, whether in the form of cold snaps, hot days, high river flow or drought, actually make things easier in many ways by substantially limiting the places where fish can find the things they need. So don't sit at home complaining about the cold. Get out there and think like a fish(erman).
