Brook Trout fishing at Mug Lake
Spring brook trout on Mug Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 22 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
