Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; fish one point at two depths, then check both sides of the point.
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then write down the depth that works.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then separate open water from cover.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; add vibration in stained water; separate open water from cover.
Record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; check a rocky edge, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.
