Fish Behavior Analysis:
-
Trout: With increasing rain on Friday, trout may move towards shallower areas closer to river mouths seeking food washed down. Focus on inlets and use bright-colored lures.
-
Bass: Expect bass to be more active with the slightly cooler temperatures on Friday. Look for them near vegetation or submerged structure. Try Texas-rigged soft plastics or spinnerbaits.
-
Perch: Perch might be scattered due to changing weather. Try fishing along drop-offs or underwater ledges with live bait or vertical jigging lures.
Recommended Hotspots & Techniques:
- Friday: Target bass near shallower areas with structure using spinnerbaits or plastic worms.
- Saturday Morning: Focus on smallmouth bass in areas with good current flow. Try using crankbaits or jerkbaits.
Optimal Fishing Windows:
- Friday Afternoon: Between 3 PM – 6 PM, as the rain slows down, fish activity may increase.
- Saturday Morning: Early hours before the rain picks up can be productive for smallmouth bass.
Lure Pattern Suggestions:
- Friday: Start with bright-colored lures near inlets for trout, then switch to spinnerbaits for bass.
Water Temperature Insights:
- Water temperature of 75°F favors bass activity. Look for them in shallower areas in the morning and near drop-offs during the day. Try using crawfish imitations for bass and minnow imitations for trout.
Tackle Recommendations:
- For bass, try medium-heavy rods with 10-20 lb test line, paired with baitcasting reels. Use Texas-rigged soft plastics or spinners.
- For trout, go for light to medium rods with 4-8 lb test line, spinning reels, and small spinners or spoons.
Safety Reminders:
- Be cautious of changing weather conditions, especially high winds during thunderstorms.
- Always wear appropriate safety gear and adhere to local regulations.
