Sarah Lake is a lake in Copper River, Alaska and covers about 16.1 acres and reaches about 17.1 feet.
The small size of Sarah Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Sarah Lake include Burbot and Humpback Whitefish.
At Sarah Lake, for burbot, fish a heavy jig or natural bait on the bottom during cold, low-light periods.
For a trip to Sarah Lake, for humpback whitefish, jig a small fly or compact bait close to firm bottom in cold water.
How to Read the Water
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it at Sarah Lake.
Season by Season
When fishing Sarah Lake, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
A Simple Tackle Plan
On Sarah Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
Around Sarah Lake, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
