Glennette Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

It holds true on Glennette Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Glen Lake, 0.3 miles away. For Glennette Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
