Fishing tips middle of summer – early fall?
I live in Colorado, I am a trout fisherman but to catch trout lately I have to travel a long way. The lake I fish in is a good place to fish but the trout fishing has slowed down a lot. The catfish, bass, walleye, and crappie are biting very well though but I am mainly focused on just catching any fish again. From middle summer to early fall whats the best bait and locations for any of those fish. Thanks anything helps I just want to start catching fish again. ( I am not fly fishing, bait fishing)


Catfishing is great during the middle of summer. Use stinkbait, live bait, or cutbait on the bottom for them. I like to just throw a pole rigged up for Cats out there with a bobber on it and stick it in the bank. Then, I focus on others.
Bass fishing is not too good summer-fall. I shoot for when they spawn in April-May. Unless you can get there before a storm, when they stock up on food.Iit’s gonna be a little tricky nevertheless.
Crappie is pretty good early fall. Use crappie minnows, maribou jigs, or some 2+inch curly tail grubs on jig heads and you should catch them if you find the right depth. They seem to change about 15ft – 10ft when its hot.
Walleye will be real good when the temp gets a little cooler. They will start rising up closer to the surface. During the summer try underneath docs or in shady/deep spots. Use spinners, and maybe try some Gulp! Minnows. They will get shreaded pretty quick and they are somewhat pricey though.
Hope I helped
