Spring is a season of transition, not just for nature but also for anglers. As temperatures rise, fish move from their winter habitats to the shallows in preparation for spawning. However, spring also brings unpredictable weather, including heavy rains that can turn clear waters into cold, muddy challenges. Understanding how to adapt to these conditions is crucial for a successful fishing experience.

When cold rainstorms hit, especially those originating from the north, they can rapidly cool water temperatures and introduce murkiness. This […]
