Field notes
Another volcanic crater lake in the Western District, stocked heavily with rainbow trout, brown trout and chinook salmon. Reliable trout fishery for trollers and shore anglers, with redfin throughout. Best fishing late autumn through spring when water cools.

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.
