  • Recommendations

    Tactics

    Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.

    Lures

    The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: spoon or large fly. The water's cold — work the lure slower than usual.

    Gear

    Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.
