30 minutes
No fish
Usual Ernie spot
3/8 oz Black/Blue P & J
Perhaps 1 bump
Maybe Curly can tell us what's the best way to fish the P & J in cold water....

Move it about an inch every 4-5 sec. Instead of pulling or jigging it, shake your rod tip to move it ever so slightly . It also helps to have active fish nearby. IF they pick it up, they will not swim with it, but just set there with it in their mouth.............if it feels like a rock or twig down there.........SET THE HOOK!

Good advice i am sure, but I have never seen you stand/sit still for 4-5 seconds, while fishing

Ha ha...........True when it is warm. This month, it's taken me 30-45 minutes to move down 50 feet of shoreline on some days. I'll go back to power fishing when the bass get a little more active.

Any ideas for a fly fisherman in these conditions? What flies/presentation do you think would give me a decent shot at bigger fish? I slow stripped a small clouser at Beech last saturday for an hour or so .... picked up 3 dinks but that was about it.

Sinking or intermediate line......something fat (crawdad) vs long and sloooooow like Curly said.
Glad you caught a few, I may beed to throw the long rod before winter comes in a few days.
