Start the rainbow trout search on Upper Pine Lake by trying 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; check a rocky edge, then check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
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; try the strongest cover, then test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
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; fish isolated cover before a long empty edge; separate open water from cover.
Record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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; look for a clean edge beside cover, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.
