Winter swim tests?
Hey guys,
I've been spending a lot of time going through the archives and cant believe the wealth of info thats here. Just wanted to say thanks to all who share their ideas with the rest of us!
Also, I'm curious, how many of you guys test out new designs in the middle of Feb? I can see myself with some very cold fingers this winter!!

The folks at the "Y" hate seeing me poolside in my waders with a bucket of plugs.

I do have a 75 gal saltwater reef tank that has been used for float testing! Not enough room for swim testing. ( My kids would never forgive me if Nemo inhaled a swimmer!)  |

I'm lucky enough to have a protected dock right down the road. Although, don't ask me times I've nearly slipped in when it was covered in ice

When I worked at a college I had an indoor test facility, (pool) I don't know what I'll do now. In feb. here in VT the only open waters you can find are closed trout waters and I would probably find the only assistant warden that thought I could actually catch a trout on a six inch plug.
