During the start of a weather change near a shallow shelf with stable weather, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the first pass near a narrow cove while the water is falling, 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 clean gravel patch while the water is falling, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first pass near a channel bend where food is present, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.
During the start of a weather change near an open-water edge with a moving bait, 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 start of a weather change near a narrow cove in clear water, 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 last hour of daylight near a shallow shelf with light wind, 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 low-light period near a creek-side turn near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait 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.
