  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Summit County include brown trout, rainbow trout and cutthroat trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Anyone new to Castle Lake should walk it once before setting up.
