Can You Read A Lake?
By Mike (Doc) Monteith
So how do you read a lake where there are no obvious fast riffles, deep runs or fish-holding boulders? There may be no obvious structure like in a stream, but there is structure even if it is in a different form.

Trout Streams - How to Find New Streams and Trout Fishing Opportunities
Jeffrey Gray
Trout fishing, especially with fly tackle, is a venture that can involve careful planning and deliberation. Fishermen like to maximize the time they spend at the stream and will, if necessary, pay top dollar for guide services to lead them to that “magical” trout pool or get them to that “un-fished” rapid. This is well and good, and fishing with a local guide is many times the key to enjoying a fishing adventure. However, fishermen seeking trout venues may overlook free resources which are right at their fingertips; namely, their own state’s online fishing guides.
