during cool or cooling conditions. Say the water temperature was 75 degrees. Based on our findings we could expect the fish to campaign forage two times during a 24 hour period and in some cas­es as many as three times. These find­ings were based on actual encounters. We dealt with hundreds if not thousands of fish during our study period. We would fish as aggressively as we could through­out the entire day, and sometimes into the late night if the conditions warranted. Another option might be to take advan­tage of current areas. Again, this is due to the warming trend and the fact that the lake has a natural current, which will in fact focus some of the warm­est water on or over certain key locations. Sounds admirable, but is there a problem with this decision? In my opinion I have less suc­cess under bright, sunny skies, although I have little facts to really justify this. Nonetheless, I will be thinking this the entire time I'm fishing these exposed areas -- that is unless I find such current areas that also have vegetation. I'm sure I can find some of those. So, what is the problem with this choice? It lies in the fact that the mov­ing waters will not achieve the same radiant value as protected areas. Fur­thermore, unless the fish is a resident of the area they would have no desire to relocate to it just because of a slight warming trend. They may be there, but I'm not convinced it's my best choice. Continued at Page 53
