I say they are constantly moving in Lakes. The search for food where rivers it is a sit and wait.
Even with the air temps dropping it takes longer for the water to cool.
I hit Strawberry last Nov. thinking they would be shallow and a bit lethargic, the complete opposite. They were anywhere from 30' to 50' and hitting hard.
Good theory is to fish fast sinking in hot and maybe intermediate or a slower sinking in the COOLER WATER.
I fish a lot off the bottom (my deep nymphing) as the fish still eat Scuds and Sows and Chironomids not to mention leeches off the bottom.
Dry / Droppers is a good attack too. I like to start with maybe a 5' dropper then shorten as needed.
