Tip
Tip: In warm months, leave shallow water and fish deeper cold water and springs
How to do it: When June to August warming pushes fish out of shallows, move to springs and deeper cold water, even if spring shallow fishing was good
Mistake it fixes: Staying shallow all summer
Why it works: Trout follow cold, oxygenated water. Shallow water that was productive in spring becomes too warm in summer, so fish relocate.
When it matters most: Stillwater, summer
