Rainbow trout are the target at this lake and range medium to large in size. Working the shorelines out to 20 yards with small nymphs in red, black, brown or olive can really be productive. Small jigs, spinners or spoons in gold, white, glo, or chartreuse can also work well. Fishing will stay good right up to freeze up.
