Fish listed for Schweigert Dam include Rainbow Trout.
Across the calm side of a shallow saddle, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Near the shallow side of a patch of green weeds, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
Beside the shaded side of the old channel, 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.
Beside the current seam of a quiet pocket, 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.
Around the gravel lip of a channel turn, 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.
