I would say definitely YES. Sounds like you've covered the ranges of water depths for multiple seasons.
Some friends and I put out some structure this past week. We put out mostly tobacco stick stake beds and a few PVC structures. They are located at various depths with the most of them favoring the spring fishing period. However, we have some a deeper depths for the transition periods as well as some fall and winter fishing.
Our primary target is late March and into May. Can we expect fish to be at these places this spring? Water temps are currently in the low 40's.
Thanks

That was the plan to cover different transition periods. I found a ledge that runs from the main river channel out to the bank. It "falls" off on two different directions, so it is a very defined ledge. I put stake beds out on this ledge from 12' to 5' deep now at winter pool ( it will rise 5' at summer pool.)
Hopefully we can have them covered.
Don't forget the flats. Late post spawn you will find them out in open water huddling up. Sometimes they suspended on top of structure. They recouping from spring hemorrhoids (sore red tails from the spawn). This is when I use small minners on the short shank hook. You can expect short bites. If you feel the thump here, you done missed the fish and he done got your bait......MOHO

You my friend have just created yourself a "honeyhole".........good days are just around the corner.I usually wait 6 months or more but i discovered i've been making a mistake,i put out an oak top several weeks ago and decided to take a look at it in less than 2 weeks to my surprise it was loaded with fish we pulled 50 keepers off it the first 2 times we fished it......never too early.
