While looking for rainbow trout on Los Penasquitos Lagoon, 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; test the clearest edge, then make one pass close to bottom.
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; start beside deeper water, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
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; keep the bait near useful cover; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then match lure size to the fish.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the repeat bite, 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; follow the outside weed line, then let two bites set the useful depth.
