Why do panfish keep changing depths under the ice?

Panfish Movements

Under-the-ice movements of bluegills and crappies are not only made horizontally, but vertically as well. Zooplankton are microscopic organisms that move about in the water column at the whim of water temperatures and wave action. They tend to rise in invisible clouds during the morning hours and then sink again in the evening.

Panfish follow the zooplankton movements, eating as they go. Anglers will find fish at various depths throughout the day and will have to adjust fishing depths accordingly.
