During a methodical search near the outside weed line in clear water, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first hour near a clean gravel patch with stable weather, 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.
While using a shallow-to-deep search near a firm-bottom flat 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 check of nearby water near a rocky edge 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 check of nearby water near scattered wood near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
