Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 7 to 23 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 21 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
