Why are they where they are??
Looking at the US Army Corp of Engineers report on Green River Lake - Water Quality- it shows that oxygen levels are too low below 17 Feet. Also, there is less than one degree variation in temperature over that 17 ft. So....Why are the where they are at? Why aren't they anywhere in that range. Why aren't they as likely in shaded stumps in 10 ft of water as anywhere else????? (assuming there are baitfish present -of course.)
They are where they are ....

'cause that's where they want to be :p
Low oxygen content only means they can't stay in that water for any prolonged period of time. Baitfish, OR fish !! Warm water means the fish will have a higher metabolism rate, which means they're likely to forage often (or just eat bigger meals).
My question to you is .... where they at ?? Do you know, as in "have you been catching them at a specific depth" ??
They're not all going to be in exactly the same depth, on the same type cover, over the course of a day's time. They will move in and out from the banks, and up and down in the water column, thru the course of a day ... depending on the prevailing conditions (weather/water clarity/baitfish movement/etc).
