In the situation described, we found cooler water entering the lake through a field tile that dumped into the lake. These fish can be caught with fly gear and artificial flies. <br />If you can't find cool water entering the lake, then you have to fish for trout in the deeper waters. Most Iowa lakes form a thermocline in the summer. The deep water below the thermocline is cool, but has very low oxygen content. Fish typically cannot survive there. The water above the thermocline is oxygen rich, but too warm for trout. Most fish will be in the thermocline layer itself...where the water transitions between the warm upper layer and the cold bottom layer. Fish will prefer to find a happy balance between water temperature and dissolved oxygen content.<br />Those fish can be reached with flyfishing gear using sinking lines, or using spinning gear and small crankbaits, weighted in-line spinners, small blade baits or spoons.<br /><br />In a stream situation, you can use the same lures or flies you would use in any other season....match the hatch or use attractor fly patterns, or small spinners, crankbaits, jigs, and spoons. I would guess that Berkley PowerBait or Gulp! products would also work well during the warmer months.FishnDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224770232081356438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280254602600282932.post-48781811340356889862012-07-26T14:27:41.127-07:002012-07-26T14:27:41.127-07:00any tips on lures to use for trout in the warmer m...any tips on lures to use for trout in the warmer monthsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280254602600282932.post-44144512477509090192010-07-12T07:30:39.306-07:002010-07-12T07:30:39.306-07:00These were all Rainbow Trout.
