What time of year are they shallow? Like less than 5 feet or so? Are they pretty easy to catch then? Topwater action?

I'd like to catch spots with a fly rod but would need shallow water fishing just stripping streamers and such.

For the most part, they are never shallow here. When they spawn, there are some and when the water warms in February, there are some shallows ones.

I have had guys use a fly rod before, your best bet is in june when they are on the brush piles,. I can position you around them in 25 feet of water and you can use a popper to draw them up. I have also had a guy use a big streamer to draw them up

Their position is very predictable in June
