During a bright afternoon near a shaded bank in stained water, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During an overcast morning near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, use a small jig or minnow around brush, weeds, and the edge of deeper water for white crappie.
During a short evening pass near scattered wood with stable weather, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a short evening pass near the first break while the water is rising, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first hour near a narrow cove with a moving bait, Other targets listed here include Brown Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a check of nearby water near the first break with a slow lure, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
During the last hour of daylight near a protected point with light wind, 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.
During the first pass near a shaded bank while the water is falling, 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.
During a quick scouting pass near the edge of deeper water after warm rain, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
