Fish listed for Haynes Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop after a cold night, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the final pass near the downwind side before changing areas, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
While using a small search around the first point near the downwind side with a moving bait, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During an overcast morning near the outside weed line under flat light, 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.
During a low-light period near the downwind side under flat light, 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.
