Bootjack Lake is a great lake for fishing rainbow trout and kokanee. This smaller lake with an RV accessible rec site is popular with families and is a great place for beginners to test their skill.
Bootjack Lake is considered one of the region's Family Fishing Waters. These are lakes that are relatively easy for children and beginners to fish. They are generally easy to access and have simple regulations.
Standards will work well in Bootjack Lake. Try trolling a Wedding Ring, following the 20 foot contour interval around the lake (see map).
As summer warms the surface water, the fish will generally move to deeper, cooler sections of the lake. Try using a small sinker on the line to get the lure down to about 15 feet deep. A fish finder can be very helpful finding the depth at which the fish are located.
Be sure to check out the Freshwater Fishing Regulations for more information.
