Conditions : BIG LAKE: Road closed (Snow) - Check for road closures US Forest Service. If you do get a small boat on the lake, try trolling worms, spinners and flies. To attract cutthroat, use lures that resemble crayfish or their movement .Fish are getting shallower, pair of waders and 9 foot rod will get ya some good bites! We are enjoying stripping leeches in the shallows with some indicator rigs with cromids and balanced leeches as well. .
