Butts Lake is a lake in Mono County, California.
Butts Lake is a lake in Mono County, California and covers about 2.3 acres.
The small size of Butts Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Butts Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
One direct rainbow trout tactic on Butts Lake is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; begin near moving water, then use a moving lure to search.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; use the same depth on the next similar feature; fish the same shape nearby.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; work an old channel turn, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.
