Given steady high pressure and easterly wind at this time of year, fish the sheltered western and northern shorelines where wind-pushed water concentrates insects and trout follow; the early morning window from first light through 8 a.m. will be most productive before the gusts intensify. If you're casting into the wind during the peak period, switch to shorter casts with weighted nymphs or intermediate lines to maintain control, as the 31mph gusts will make traditional longer presentations unmanageable. Once air temperature rises and the sun strengthens through mid-morning, expect trout to move deeper and feed less visibly, so concentrate your effort in the opening two hours when surface activity and subsurface feeding are most reliable. If calm patches appear between gusts, take advantage of them to cover margins and shallower features where spring-feeding trout shelter; should the wind become consistently strong across exposed water, retreat to lee banks or deeper, protected areas where fish will be more cooperative than in churned, windy shallows.
