On a water as small as Tape Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Tape Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the first pass near the downwind side before changing depth, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a methodical search near a shaded bank near visible bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a protected point after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a warm summer afternoon near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing areas, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first hour near scattered wood near visible bait, 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 one careful route near a soft-to-hard bottom change near visible bait, 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.
During a low-light period near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a moving bait, 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 the first hour near a narrow cove where food is present, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
