During a cold winter outing near a channel bend in stained water, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a cold winter outing near a quiet corner in stained water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near the edge of deeper water with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the start of a weather change near the first break near visible bait, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
During a low-light period near a shaded bank while the water is rising, 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 a cold winter outing near a channel bend in stained water, 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 methodical search near an open-water edge near visible bait, 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.
