Lots of trout at the right time!

Timing is key with this lake… My friends and I have caught tons of trout out of Cenaiko and I’ve seen some MONSTER trout too! Cenaiko Lake is easy to access with two docks on the south side of the lake. Before the ice comes, this lake is absolutely amazing for fly fishing and it’s usually a quiet spot. There is lots of opportunity to fish from shore too, but since the trout like to hang out on the deeper ends of the lake, it can be hard to cast to the trout with the right-sized lures. The fishing gets tough in the summer however, but the river is usually better when Cenaiko isn’t doing too hot.

Smallmouth are 🔥 here

This spot in the river is possibly the best smallmouth spot in history, in my opinion. Look for cover such as fallen trees, logs, and rock piles. I usually use a skirted bed rig jig head and a rubber craw. Use dirty brown or green colors. Again, BEST SMALLIE SPOT EVER!
