Ashurst Lake is a lake in California, near Lassen County.
Ashurst Lake is a lake in Lassen County, California and covers about 77.1 acres.
Ashurst Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Ashurst Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on Ashurst Lake, 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; slow the bait when a good edge appears.
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; fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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; write down the depth that works; change retrieve speed before changing lures.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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; make the next cast parallel to the edge.
