Tip
Tip: Fish early in summer heat, starting pre-dawn if needed
How to do it: Start very early in August heat to fish before afternoon closures and heat push fish down or off the bite
Mistake it fixes: Starting late in summer heat
Why it works: Early water is cooler and more oxygenated, and fish feed before heat and pressure shut them down. Pre-dawn starts use that window.
When it matters most: Summer trout fishing
