A good speed is faster than the speed traveled by the sound of the honey and mother-in-law saying, “come back here and cut the grass, do the dishes” and all those other mean and nasty things on the honey doo doo list<br><br><br>But seriously I would move according to the suggested speeds on your lures. If none are provided then any where between 5 and 8 miles an hour, in other words a hefty walking pace.<br><br>As for depth, that really depends on water temps and depth of the lake that your are fishing on.<br><br>Trout like cold water but the feeder fish like warmer water so you will want to be in that transitional area. <br><br>A river fed lake could be any where around 20 to 40 feet even deeper<br><br>a spring fed lake they will be much more shallower depending on the proximity of the spring or flow of the spring. All the way to the surface of the lake as on the lake on which I live on. It is both river and spring fed and by the spring I have caught trout on surface plugs on top of the water in the dog days of August.<br><br><br><A HREF="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/" target="_new">http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/MESS6438/</A> <br>For Kids Sake <br>Recycle your old Equipment<br>Dave
