During a calm morning near scattered wood where food is present, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a calm morning near the first break near firm bottom, use a small jig or minnow around brush, weeds, and the edge of deeper water for white crappie.
During a quick scouting pass near a quiet corner near firm bottom, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a cold winter outing near a narrow cove away from empty shoreline, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a quick scouting pass near the mouth of a pocket near visible 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 steady fall day near a rocky edge away from empty shoreline, 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.
During the first hour near a shallow shelf where two features meet, 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 cool spring morning near the outside weed line beside useful 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.
During a warm summer afternoon near scattered wood with a slow lure, 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.
