California heat and the Frat

What you will see

• Warm water, thicker vegetation, more reason to throw something weedless that still swims.
• The clip is a mood as much as a how-to: this is peak SwimFrat weather.

Takeaways

1. When pads and mats turn on, swap the waking rat for the swimming frog.
2. Early heat can mean short feeding windows — make the casts count.
3. Shop a 3-pack before the first 90-degree week, not during it.
