Lake Turnover Explained For Anglers
Turnover is the autumn spell when a stratified lake mixes top to bottom and the bite falls apart. Here is what is physically happening, how to recognise it on the water, and where fish stay catchable while it passes.
How Weather Affects Fishing
Two anglers fish the same lake with the same lures on the same spot. One has a great day and one gets skunked.
Winter Fishing: Cold-Water Tactics
Most anglers hang up their rods when the temperature drops, and that is exactly why winter can be so good.
Fall Fishing: The Feeding Frenzy
Fall fishing: why lakes change as they cool, where fish go, how white bass and other schooling fish feed on baitfish, and how to fish the season, following the Missouri Department of Conservation and Wikipedia on lake turnover.
Summer Fishing Guide
Summer fishing is a study in contrasts. The weather is gorgeous, the days are long, and there is no better time to be on the water.
Spring Fishing Guide
Spring is the season every angler waits for: fish move shallow and spawn. When bass, crappie and bluegill spawn, where to find them, and how to fish the season, following the Missouri Department of Conservation's field guide and fishing pages.
