Tips for June Lake? Go visit the Tiger Bar, bring a condom.

Or, head to the swim beach end and troll 1/4 and 3/8 oz thomas buoyants, one in gold, the other in silver. If one gets hit more than others, switch it up. I've also had good luck trolling Rapalla Jointed Rebels, brown trout color, size 5 or 7. There are some big fish in the lake if you want to chase them.

You do not need to pay to launch @ the swim beach side, but its a 25yd haul over gravel, so you may want to bring wheels. The swim beach side is the first part of the lake that you see coming in to the loop from the 395.

Troll till you find the fish. Sometimes as shallow as 5-7 feet, sometimes mid lake. There is a natural spring that feeds the lake there, so it can be pretty productive, usually about where the watyer changes color. There is also a weed line on the road side of the lake that seems to hold cutthroats in the summer.

Nothing special needed for the outback @ June. If you head down to Crowley you will need a mussel inspection.

Good luck
