Spinney Mountain Reservoir
General Overview
Closed for the winter season. Reopens on ice offLake Conditions
Lake Level: 53%
Clarity: Clear
Suggested Methods
Around opener and in the early weeks of the season its best to cover water and try to sight fish to cruising fish. Many times fish will cruise in packs along the edges and drop offs foraging. Our guides will lean heavily on 2 styles of rigging...static nymphing and streamer fishing. Carry one rod with a static indicator rig focused on a combination of 2 or 3 or the following: balanced leeches, eggs, chironomid larva, scuds. Set that indicator at a depth that correlated with what your observing (or marking on electronics) the fish cruising at (depth wise). Carry a second rod that is directed more at prospecting. We like to run smaller leeches or baitfish style streamers on either a full sink or sink tip fly line. You can cover water and blind cast this rod or pick out cruising fish if you're at an elevated position.
