Apollo Lake is a lake in California, near Fresno County.
Apollo Lake is a lake in Fresno County, California and covers about 19.6 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
Fish listed for Apollo Lake include Brook Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with rainbow trout on Apollo Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool 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; write down the depth that works.
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; check the downwind corner for food, then give shaded water a separate pass.
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; test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
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; try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
