Tinemaha Reservoir FAQs

What is a simple way to start fishing for cutthroat trout at Tinemaha Reservoir?

Use a small spoon, spinner, dry fly, or nymph near cool inflow and rocky shelves; fish the same shape nearby.

What does the 78.3 feet deepest point mean when fishing Tinemaha Reservoir?

Treat 78.3 feet as the deepest point, not the automatic fishing depth; start near cover and move deeper only when bites or bait give a reason.

What is the best reason to change spots at Tinemaha Reservoir?

Move after checking the same useful feature at several depths without finding bait, a clean edge, or a bite; use one moving lure and one slow bait.
