21 Basic Beginning Principles of Fishing

22 Beginning Principles When to fish Early season fishing - first warming in spring 1) Time of day is critical 2) Best time is around 1-5pm because sun's rays are at maximum penetration, making air and water warmer Best place for early season fishing are small lakes/ponds because areas with darker bottoms absorb heat

23 Beginning Principles Mid-season fishing (summer) 1)Generally early morning and late evening are the best because heat is the least. 2) Summer can be hard to fish because: A. food chain is at its peak B. fish are harder to find due to abundant cover

24 Beginning Principles Late season fishing Afternoon to evening is best

25 Beginning Principles 2. Seasons affect how lures or bait is displayed to a fish. Ways to vary presentation: Depth, size, color of lure Speed of cranking Action of rod

26 Beginning Principles 3. Seasonal lake turnovers A body of water goes through an annual cycle of temperature changes that parallel the seasons. There are spring and fall turnovers There is a summer stagnation period

28 Beginning Principles Where to fish: One basic rule: ALWAYS FISH STRUCTURE

29 Beginning Principles Structure is defined as anything unusual on the bottom of a body of water, such as drop offs, bars, deep edges of weed beds, trees, rocks submerged tree stumps, points, lily pads, etc.

30 Beginning Principles Learn to read structure through observation of lake areas or by using a contour map of the lake

31 Beginning Principles Stream or river mouths are considered excellent because the income water often brings in food that attracts the fish

32 Beginning Principles Consider the current and the structures the current affects to select location.
