Cutthroat Trout fishing at Templeton Lake
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 40 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 24 ft, rated prime for fall cutthroat trout. Time it for early morning and the evening.
