Lake Putt is a reservoir in Placer County, California and covers about 33.8 acres, reaches about 31.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 249 acre-feet.
Lake Putt can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Lake Putt include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
For rainbow trout on Lake Putt, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then watch water color during the day.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; work from shallow to deep, then separate open water from 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; add vibration in stained water; try the strongest cover, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
Record the wind, water color, depth that gave up a fish, 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; let wind choose the first bank, then add vibration in stained water.
