As most of the country is still in the grips of a long cold winter, it’s not uncommon to find yourself “climbing the walls”, anticipating the day you can get back out on the water. But, maybe you can take advantage of this downtime by planning how to make the most of the coming fishing season. One enjoyable, but very productive activity is “map study”. Sit yourself down in front of a cozy fire and take a good look at the topographical map for your favorite fishing hole. Check out a few of your favorite spots-areas that you’ve found to be consistent producers over the years. Take note of obvious factors like depth, bottom composition, cover, etc. Then, consider the subtle things like the relative position to shallow spawning bays, steep contours, or even boat traffic. Now, think about the habits of the species of fish you pursue. What types of cover or conditions will that fish typically seek? Take all this information into consideration, and try to find other parts of your body of water that may have similar combinations of elements to your proven spots. Look for places you’ve never thought to try before. Make notes, either right on your maps or in a notebook you can keep in your tackle box or boat. Now, when you’re out on that first, beautiful warm day, you can look back on your notes and move efficiently around your lake, hitting only the highest percentage areas and possibly discovering new favorite spots. And, the worst case scenario is that you spent some time during the winter thinking about fishing, revisiting fond fishing memories and fighting off that cabin fever.
