Rainbow powerbait & #16 hooks off the bottom. Most were small 10 inches or less but very yummy because the water was still cool. We had a great time watching birds catch fish! We fished Luna lake the weekend before and my husband caught an 18 inch cut throat and a 20 inch rainbow!

Reservation Lake does have huge browns. In fact, the current state record came from there. Early summer, however, is not typically the time to catch them unless you have a four-leaf clover in one hand and a rabbit’s foot dangling from your key chain. However, your best chance will be at first and last light, or possibly at night when the browns get more active. For those of us broiling in the desert sun, the allure of Reservation Lake at 9,000 feet almost in the shade of Mt. Baldy is almost overwhelming.

All the fish were just small stockers, 10 inchers or so. The rainbows were the most acrobatic fish I have ever seen when they were caught, jumping out of the water with back flips and all. That part was a lot of fun. We did see a brown trout eat a baby duck that was a shocker and then later had a local tell us that an entire flock of baby mallards were eaten the week before. So there are still some monster brown trout in the lake. Just need to figure out what they will hit on; we tried every thing, large Rapalas, large spoons, huge spinners and yet the small rainbows were hitting large lures. HELLO, TRY BABY DUCK LURE!
