Fish listed for Lake Butte include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During the start of a weather change near the edge of deeper water near firm bottom, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a slow shoreline pass near a shallow shelf in clear water, 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 first shoreline check near a protected point while the water is rising, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a return to the best bank near the downwind side near firm bottom, 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 quick scouting pass near a protected point under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
