The recorded size of Willow Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Willow Lake include Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat Trout.
During a steady fall day near a shallow shelf with a moving bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During an overcast morning near scattered wood close to shade, 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 point-to-pocket comparison near a clean gravel patch 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 the first pass near a shaded bank with stable weather, 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 soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
