Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a feeding flat around 5 ft that scores good in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printemps | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Spring lake trout on Lac de la Butte hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. They move out to 29 to 98 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 80 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 98 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.

You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.

Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 22 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for the evening and early morning. Summer baits: a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) gets it done.
