Answer:
Fish might be found in water scarcely deep enough to cover their backs, or they might swim in unfathomable depths. They may scour the bottom, roll on the surface or hover anywhere between.
Each species of fish goes through different cycles at various times of the year and eats different foods. Spawning puts fish in one place, their need for cover another and their tolerances of temperature and oxygen levels another. Individual and species needs and preferences present too complicated an equation for people or computers to master.
Nevertheless, anglers have been trying to figure out the intricacies of fish location since people used bone-fish hooks. The result: still no absolutes, but along the way the discovery of some pretty reliable indicators of fish location. Study the stream and pond art on these pages for hints to fish location.
Food
All living things need to remain near a food source and fish are no exception. Fish tend to concentrate where food is plentiful. Schools of minnows or other prey fish will attract larger fish to feed on them. Fish take advantage of many feeding opportunities, including hatching insects and migrating frogs.
Signs of small fish activity can lead you to fishing hot spots. Minnows darting above the surface are often trying to escape from larger fish. Numerous small fish in the shallows could mean that larger fish will later arrive to feed.
Cover
Fish use cover to escape predators and as an aid in ambushing prey. Some fish spend most of their lives near cover; others move from cover only to feed.
Cover can be loosely defined as anything that will hide or protect the fish. Weeds, docks, brush, rocks and logs all provide cover, so do overhanging trees, cliffs or swimming platforms, which shade the fish and make them less visible to other fish, predatory birds and humans.
Much cover is visible. Weeds grow near the bank, fallen trees lean over the water, boat docks and swimming platforms rim the lake, flooded timber reaches above the water's surface and loose rock often line shorelines.
A lot of cover cannot be seen. Underwater rocks and sunken logs, as well as fish shelters of sticks, brush or Christmas trees that anglers have placed to attract fish can be found on many lake and river bottoms.
Structure
Drop-offs, points, ridges and sandbars shape the beds of lakes and rivers. These structural elements often attract more fish than do flat or gently sloping bottoms.
You can find good places to fish from clues on land or in the water. Land points often extend into a lake; a path between flooded timber indicates an old river channel; a break in a wave pattern reveals an underwater island and the weed edge tells where the water has become too deep to allow sunlight to penetrate to the bottom.
Edges
Feeding fish seem to favor transition zones between different habitats. The edge of a weed line, for example, usually produces the most fish. In rivers, fish often feed near current breaks, where the flow is deflected or slowed. These are often visible from the surface.
Similarly, the break between muddy and clear water, the edges of main lake basins, the margin where mud bottom meets gravel bottom and drop-offs also attract active fish.
Deep or shallow?
Fish respond to both feeding opportunities and light levels. Generally, fish are in shallower water in low light and choppy conditions, and in deeper water when the sun is bright and winds are calm.
Fish are often shallower in the spring and early summer. Summer heat sends fish deeper to find cooler temperatures, but not to the bottom, where there is little oxygen. Fall fish tend to remain deep. Fish in ice-covered lakes often stay near the surface, especially in late winter.
