Splake fishing at Ranger Lake
Start shallow in spring: splake sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. By summer they slide out to 12 to 39 ft, and by winter most fish are in 9 to 39 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline break: a drop-off around 18 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) covers the summer program.
