During warmer months, topwater action can be explosive at dawn and dusk on the reservoirs. As water temperatures drop, transitioning to slower presentations like jigs and drop-shot rigs produces consistent catches. Ice fishing is available during winter months in the northern portions, targeting panfish and walleye through the ice.
