Albaugh 1 Dam is a lake in Lassen County, California and covers about 25.9 acres.
A point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline; let two bites set the useful depth.
Fish listed for Albaugh 1 Dam include Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
A useful rainbow trout plan on Albaugh 1 Dam is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; let a light jig fall beside the break.
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; work a quiet shoreline, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
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; match lure size to the fish.
Record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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; look for a second bite before leaving.
