Rainbow Trout fishing at Wenas Lake
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 7 to 35 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 11 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Best bite is early morning and the evening.
