  The seasonal spread runs 46°F to 84°F. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Plan any trip to this water around it. After heavy rain, give the water a day to settle.
