Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 18 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
