  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Public occurrence data for Coconino County names brown trout, common carp and flannelmouth sucker. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Fish Pine Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Public mapping marks it as seasonal water rather than permanent. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day.
