The small size of this water makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle; match the hook and line to the named target.

While looking for rainbow trout on Milk Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
At Milk Lake, 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.
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; check rock and weeds as separate patterns, then keep one slow bait ready.
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; start beside the first useful break, then let a light jig fall beside the break.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, 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; test a shaded bank, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
