Without a dependable size figure for Big Fall Creek Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Big Fall Creek Lake include Cutthroat Trout.
Arctic Grayling, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
On a methodical search near a protected point while the water is rising, 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.
While using a simple two-depth check near the downwind side while the water is rising, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During the last hour of daylight near a shallow shelf near visible bait, 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.
On a slow shoreline pass near a narrow cove close to shade, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
