For the first time in 6 years, Cave Lake is full! A total of 20,000 rainbow trout averaging 11 inches have been stocked into Cave Lake this spring.  A total of 1,000 brown trout were stocked in May, averaging 10 inches. Water temperatures are in the high 60s. Anglers should expect to catch hatchery stocked trout, however, there is a chance that you may catch a trout carried over from previous years.  Anglers will catch trout on nightcrawlers, PowerBait, spinners (Mepps and Panther Martins), and a variety of wetflies behind a bubble.
