Use the shape you can see at Running Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Running Lake include Brook Trout.
Tiger Muskie, and Westslope 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 return to the best bank near a protected point with a slow lure, 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 one check of the nearest drop near a shaded bank with light wind, 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.
On a steady fall day near the downwind side close to shade, 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 steady fall day near a small drop beside useful cover, 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.
