During the first hour near a rocky edge near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

During a check of nearby water near a firm-bottom flat before changing depth, 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 careful second pass near a shallow shelf with a moving bait, 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 careful second pass near a creek-side turn close to shade, 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.
