Actionable Hotspot & Technique Advice

- Optimal Fishing Windows: Early morning and evening hours will be best on Monday and Tuesday for trout. After rain showers today might bring out active bass.
Lure Pattern & Tackle Recommendations
- Lure Suggestions: Start with topwater lures in the morning for bass. Transition to jigs and soft plastics as the day progresses.
- Tackle: Use medium-heavy rods for bass, light spinning gear for trout. Fluorocarbon lines for finesse fishing.
