Aside from winter as its a case of where thermo's are etc, how deep is to deep for feeding?
I want to be able to fish with confidence on a still water that is around 20 ft deep from the very edge, mainly for Perch, Pike, Bream and Silvers etc (I know Carp come to the surface) not really much contained in any of the books I have on this area which I feel has more importance than I gave to it last visit and I feel accounted for my lack of success.
Thermoclimes, "breaking" algae, oxygen levels in the water, water clarity/light penetration factor (influences on photosynthesis of plant life), plant life offers protection or cover for an ambush of different species like Perch and Pike, as well as a food source for the others must be depth specific to a degree?
Is there a "sweet zone" or are there parameters of depth and limitations to depths of which different species will feed at?
Having just done rivers for the last two/three years or so after getting back into fishing, some of the few invites I've had to still waters have been embarrassing as I simply don't have a clue how to fish them properly (I'm turning into a bit of a one trick pony even if I do say so myself).
