[#0000FF]A valid observation. Fish set up travel routes, [/#0000FF][#0000FF][#0000FF][b]hangouts, and [/#0000FF]feeding locations based upon depth, water temps, food availability, etc. When their fave spots ain't there no more they gotta find some new ones. Makes it tough on fisherfolk who have to do the seek and ye shall find routine on every new trip.
Fortunately, I have fished Deer Creek for several decades and have seen extreme low water conditions before. Prior to Jordanelle Dam being built upriver Deer Creek filled to the brim every spring and dropped lower than it is now in the late fall almost every year. But, that was when there were tons of perch and largemouths, a few walleyes, lots of trout...but no smallmouths, crappies, bullheads, white bass, etc.
Some of the best fishing of the year was during the last weeks of fall...and lots of big fish from shallow water. Hope we can get into some of that this year.
