When to Fish Melody Lake

Spring around Melody is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Melody can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
