Seasonal Guide
Right fish,
right season.
Spring
TroutBassCrappieWalleye
Warming water triggers feeding frenzies. Fish shallow areas in the morning as fish move up from deeper winter haunts.
Summer
BassCatfishBluegillRedfish
Fish early morning or evening to avoid the heat. Deep structure and shaded banks hold fish during midday.
Fall
SalmonStriped BassPikeTrout
Fall is prime time. Fish are feeding aggressively before winter. Follow baitfish schools and you'll find the predators.
Winter
TroutPerchSteelheadCod
Slow down your presentation. Cold-blooded fish are lethargic — a slow-moving lure or live bait near the bottom is key.
Quick Tips
What every angler should know.
Whether you're wading a mountain stream or casting from a pier, these fundamentals will put more fish on the line.
Fish at Dawn and Dusk
Low light conditions are when most fish feed most actively. The first and last hours of daylight are consistently the most productive.
Match the Hatch
Observe what insects or baitfish are present and mimic them. Fish are selective — the right lure color and size makes all the difference.
Fish the Structure
Rocks, fallen trees, drop-offs, and weed edges all hold fish. Structure provides cover and ambush points — always fish the edges.
Know Your Water Temperature
Fish are cold-blooded and their metabolism tracks water temp. A thermometer is one of the most useful tools in your tackle box.
