Rez fishes different than most lakes because it is shallow throughout most of the lake. For the most part It fishes the same in the spring, fall, and summer. I have never fished it in winter but its probably similar. The fish up there don't bite well sometimes. The locals usually fair well because they are always in a good spot so when the fish do have their little biting spell they are there to catch them. Randall Tharp is just badass anywhere he goes. Big fish in the Rez are tough to get in the boat also. They are just mean fish and those pads are thick.
