Saukit2em hit it right on the head. When the water get's that cold and low and clear to boot, you have to start throwing big bright hardware, i.e. silverplated spoons and spinners. The fish's metabolism is governed by water temp and when they become cold and lethargic, large bright hardware wake's 'em up and puts them in attack mode . I know, it goes against the accepted wisdom to throw something that big and bright in low, clear water, but when it's real cold it works! Try checking out Jed Davis's book on spinner fishing. It goes in depth about water temp for all of our coldwater fish, and does not just apply to hardware but works equally well for drift, bait, plug and fly fishing. I usually fish #4's and #5's in such conditions and hook fish if they're around. Tight lines everyone!
