• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 36°F in January up to 82°F in July. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. This water fishes to that pattern most years. Spring warms the shallows first, so start there.
