Best Times to Fish: Season

 

SPRING

 

EARLY MORNING

Fish aren't biting. The water is cold and doesn't heat up because the sun is low and the rays bounce off the water. Best to wait until a week or so after thaw, as spring turnover takes time for the water temperature to even out to 39.2 degrees.

 

LATE MORNING-EARLY AFTERNOON

Fish are biting off and on. The water begins to warm up because rays begin to penetrate the water. Remember to fish the downwind shoreline, as the winds will push the warmer surface water along with surface food into that area.

 

AFTERNOON-EARLY EVENING

Fish are eating a lot because their metabolism and digestion are cranked. Water is warm because the sun is directly overhead.

 

SUMMER

EARLY MORNING

Fishing is excellent from before sunup to just before mid-morning. At this time of year there is abundant food and cover for fish, so finding hungry fish can be a challenge.

 

LATE MORNING-EARLY AFTERNOON

Fishing is poor for most of the day. Fish move to deep water to cool off.

AFTERNOON-EARLY EVENING

Fishing is excellent from early sundown until dark as the waters cool and fish rise up from the depths.

 

FALL

 

EARLY MORNING

Fish aren't biting much from sunup to early morning. The water is cool because the sun is too low to penetrate the water.

 

LATE MORNING-EARLY AFTERNOON

Fish are biting off and on in warmer, shallow water. The water is generally cool due to the season.

 

AFTERNOON-EARLY EVENING

Fishing at this point is excellent. Sun is directly overhead for several hours and the water gets more comfortable near the surface. This makes for seasonally good fishing because fish are putting on weight for the winter.
