  • Water 73°F on top, a bit cool for them, so they feed in the warmest water they can find.
  • Best water today is 4–20 ft deep, mostly on channel edges.
  • The lake is layered: warm water down to about 45 ft, cold below.
  • Little oxygen below about 70 ft, so fish stay above it.

Best zone: channel edge, about 8% of them, 4–20 ft deep (the fish on the map above).
