Across the gravel lip of a broad flat, 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.
Near the windward edge of a small bay, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
Along the calm side of a weed bed, 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.
Near the first edge of a channel turn, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
