Should have mentioned in previous post--it isn't that the fish bite better in late summer so much as it is the fact that they are beginning to congregate by the rivers they spawn in, or, in the case of Lucky Peak, where they are planted. The rest of the year they will likely be spread all over the lake or reservoir. Also, you asked about the depths. It has to do with water temperature, but also with the time of day, and at what level the zooplankton--which they eat almost exclusively--are located. In the early morning, they can often be found feeding on the surface, and then will drop throughout the day. Mike
