Brook Trout fishing at Butler Pond
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 7 to 24 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 19 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
