Went to Rough River this weekend and the surface temperature was between 90 and 96 the entire time. Can anyone give me advice on how to catch fish when the water is this hot?
Thanks in advance

either go very deep or go where there is running water ( backs of creeks with the running water)
And slow your presentation down.
I fished there today, conditions were tough. We had some luck on curly tail worms, fished about as slow as possible. Didn't get any bites on buzz baits in the morning or on spinners today.

I fished a spinner all day today caught 2. No size though.

Hate to say it but i think the jumps will be few and far between right now with the water temps not getting below 90. Not enough oxygen towards the surface of the water. Just my 2 cents. Later jc
we fished the jumps this weekend at nolin and they were on fire for about an hour after daylight.

We were at Nolin this past weekend and fished from Moutadier to the dam and hardly saw any jumps. The ones we did fish had very small bass in them. It wasnt the same as it was the weekend before---jumps like crazy. We just blamed it on the moon phase. Maybe we were on the wrong end of the lake. Not sure what went wrong but we were fishing an hour before daylight---so we were there, but the decent size bass were not.
