Ake Reservoir is a reservoir in Modoc County, California and covers about 7.3 acres, reaches about 20.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 65.2 acre-feet.
The small size of Ake Reservoir makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Ake Reservoir include Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on Ake Reservoir, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
How to Read the Water
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; use wind to narrow the search.
Season by Season
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; give shaded water a separate pass.
A Simple Tackle Plan
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; add vibration in stained water.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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; test the drop before leaving.
