Rainbow Trout Fishing
Fishing for rainbow trout at June Lake, one lake in the June Lake Loop, can be effective using worms, salmon eggs, prepared baits, small spinners, spoons, small swimbaits, jerkbaits and small crankbaits in vibrant colors to mimic prey. Use the lightest fishing line for the best possible results, based on conditions. Annual stocking by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has helped to maintain a good population of rainbow trout. While fishing from a boat is often the preferred method, plenty of trout are caught here by anglers fishing from the bank. Additionally, floating or sinking flies, such as nymphs, streamers, or dry flies, are popular choices for fly anglers targeting rainbow trout. Trolling with lures or flies behind a boat, casting near shoreline structures, or still fishing with bait can all yield success. Adjusting lure size, color, and retrieve speed can enhance chances of enticing these colorful and spirited fish.
Brown Trout Fishing
Currently, fishing for brown trout in June Lake is delivering some nice catches. These hearty fighters migrate around the lake in search of baitfish and comfortable water temperatures, preferably in the 50 to 62 degree range. In spring brown trout, along with the baitfish, move to the shallows which warms first. As the days get warmer in summer they move deeper, again following schools of bait. As Fall and Winter arrive, browns tend to stay in deeper water. When these trout move deep, it is typically in the 20- to 45-foot range. Nightcrawlers are always a good bait for brown trout. In-line spinners, bait-colored crankbaits and small spoons are other options. Experiment with depth and retrieve speed.
Cutthroat Trout Fishing
The ideal approach to catching Lahontan cutthroat is fly fishing, and the key is to match the hatch. Fishing for cutthroat trout in June Lake with lures or bait can be very productive as well. Presented properly, cutthroat trout can be caught on small spinners and spoons. Like all fish, cutthroat like to have some sort of cover. This year, fishing for cutthroat trout here has been fair to very good, year round depending on conditions. While the ideal setting for cutthroats is in a river or stream, they are also stocked in reservoirs, like June Lake. They will hang out in boulders, fallen trees, along drop-offs and ledges.
