Greenstone Lake is a lake in California, near Mono County.
Greenstone Lake is a lake in Mono County, California and covers about 21.9 acres, reaches about 20.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 181.6 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; check the downwind corner for food, then change retrieve speed before changing lures.
Fish listed for Greenstone Lake include Brook Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
One direct rainbow trout tactic on Greenstone Lake is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; begin beside green weeds, then check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
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; make short moves after each pass; follow the old channel through the lake, then use a moving lure to search.
Record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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; search one cove before changing areas, then follow bait before changing areas.
