Fishing Techniques

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.

• For Bull trout

  Bull trout often lurk near structure like fallen trees or undercut banks, so target these areas with your presentations.

• For Coastal cutthroat trout

  Focus on fishing near structure like fallen logs, undercut banks, and overhanging vegetation, as coastal cutthroat trout often ambush prey from these locations.
