Brook Trout fishing at Favre Lake
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. Shoreline break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 20 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.
