What are most of your opinions on Yo Yoing year round? I know it's practiced more in the winter but is it as effective in some of the warmer months?

Surface irons, and macs for the summer... Heavy irons for Winter/Spring.

I know thats the status quo but there can't be a seasonal reason YT wouldn't bite a yo yo in the summer could there? Or is it more about a YTs location in the water column based on conditions (seasonal based conditions)? Don't they pull huge YT from the 'Nados on the deep iron in the summer?

IMO anything can happen.

From my experience at LJ, spring/summer fish are in the upper 1/3 of the water column 70-100 feet of water on the dines and macks. It seems the flyline baits and surface iron catch more of the fish.

Having said that, if you stuck to fishing deeper water 120+ with heavier iron you may find bigger fish, or a WSB.

But it's hard to stick to that strategy when clickers are screaming and rods are bent inside of you.
