Me, personally, I like to fish in the winter. There is nothing like freezing you a$$ off them getting awaken by a beautiful fish.
Second, Fall then summer then spring.

For my it doesn't matter when it is as long as there are fish around and people aren't lined up next to each other (blue creek) I am there. Don't get me wrong I like the Cowlitz I just don't like the guy next to me closer than my rod length away.
