Tips for fishing
during hot
weather
Entrance Siuslaw River
High Tide
Low Tide
Fishing can get a little
tough during these hot
summer days — water tem-
peratures increase, aquatic
weed growth accelerates
and fish get lethargic. Here
are some ideas to help you
beat the dog days of fishing:
• Fish early in the morn-
ing when waters are cooler
and fish are more active.
• Look for fish in deeper
water, where it’s cooler.
• Focus on warmwater
species like bass, crappie,
bluegill and walleye.
• Travel to higher eleva-
tion lakes and streams
where the water, and you,
will be cooler.
• Consider a trip to the
coast where ocean and bay
fishing can be good
throughout the summer.
