Cutthroat Trout fishing at Turnbull Lake
Start shallow in spring: cutthroat trout sit in 3 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 39 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 10 ft, rated prime for fall cutthroat trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or a inline spinner gets it done.
