Brook Trout fishing at Wyse Lake
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates good for brook trout in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.
