Upper Boy Scout Lake is a lake in Inyo County, California and covers about 6.3 acres.

When rainbow trout are the target on Upper Boy Scout Lake, 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; match lure size to the visible food, then return to productive water when light changes.
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 on a firm point, then watch water color during the day.
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 one slow bait ready; use a smaller lure in clear water.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the first good 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; check the coolest inflow, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
