1 - there is good trout fishing to be had year round. a lot of the bodies of water stocked during the springtime aren't capable of supporting trout year round though (the water gets too warm or is too still to maintain sufficient dissolved oxygen levels). so once it gets later in the summer, you'll need to concentrate on the rivers, streams and lakes that have sufficiently cold and oxygenated water to keep the trout healthy, like the trout conservation areas and holdover lakes.

2 - everything! all the fish have different patterns to target them best... pick what you want to target and take it from there.

welcome and good luck! any questions, don't be afraid to ask, someone can help
