When to start looking for PWM internships

Hi wso,

I am a sophomore and right now I'm trying to land a f500 internship but I am also interested in PWM at a BB. I know it's not great but I thought it would be enough to show my interest in finance in preparation for junior year SA recruiting. Do you think it is too early to start contacting PWM firms in my area? I'm guessing it's less competitive than F500 or any SA recruiting so I wasn't sure if I needed to start early or I could wait until Spring. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
