One direct rainbow trout tactic on Third Recess Lake is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; begin over firm bottom, then use the same depth on the next similar feature.
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; follow the outside weed line, 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; look for a second bite before leaving; change lure speed before moving.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the best 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; use water color to choose the first lure, then look for a second bite before leaving.
