Also what is your favorite time of year to throw topwaters

1. Rapala Skitterpop or Skitterwalk

2. Cavitron Buzzbait

3. Rage Tail Shad for Open Water, Spro Bronzeye Jr. for weedbeds

4. Rapala Skitterpop

My favorite time of year is anytime water is over 60 degrees, so late April - October in Colorado

99% of my topwater fishing is done with three lures: Jitterbug, buzzbait and a soft plastic buzzer like an Ultra-Vibe Speed Worm. They all catch fish under all the conditions you mentioned and I choose based on surface cover.

I fish topwaters more than anything else and fish them spring through fall when the water is in the mid-50s or up.

One other point is if you want your lure to stay in one area for a relatively long time, as opposed to covering water, then use something like a floating frog or popper which can be worked with short jerks and paused.
