5 Hotspots For
Spring Trout
By Bernie Keefe
With cool water temperatures giving them free reign to roam, lakers, rainbows and brown trout could
be virtually anywhere in the lake during the springtime.
More often than not, however, a few key areas hold the majority of the fish.
Check out these five surefire hotspots from veteran trout guide Bernie Keefe
to make this your best spring yet.
Main-Lake Points
Points attract forage and baitfish, making these shoreline sweet spots magnets
for trout. "Long, slow-tapering points where the tip quickly drops from 10 or
20 feet of water into 30 feet or more are the best, but any gradual point with
deep water at the end has potential," says Keefe, who uses a lake map to
locate prime points but says you can sometimes judge them from shore.
