Field notes
Deep volcanic crater lake near Camperdown, stocked with chinook salmon, brown trout and rainbow trout. Trolling lead-core and downriggers along the steep edges produces salmon early morning, with shore-based bait fishing at dusk for trout.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
