Spring might be the first chance to fish during the year, but I’ve always considered early summer to be the true start of fishing season. During spring, the water is still murky and cold from rains and snowmelt, and most fish are still a bit sluggish. But, when the temps start to rise in the early summer, so do the fish.There are five species of fish that can be found in relatively shallow water during the early part of summer that will eat almost anything you throw in front of them with all the enthusiasm of starving hyenas. These fish…

Whether you hunt private or public lands, here are a few things he and the other experts do in…
