Im going camping over 4th of July weekend @ Big Lake in the White Mountains of AZ. I have heard there is really good trout fishing in these mountains.
I would like to give lake fishing a try as I usually just fish small streams using small spinners and salmon eggs but have no idea where to start on how to fish a lake, what to use (type, size, etc), what depth, etc.
I have fished from banks of lakes but am planning on renting a small power boat for fun to try my hand at lake fishing.
Any advice on basic setups I should be using and the correct way to fish a lake? I would even be interested in any books you think may be useful. Hopefully my first lake fishing experience will be a good one, if not, there are many streams nearby
. Thanks for any help.
