Bathtub Lake is a lake in California, near Fresno County.
Bathtub Lake in Fresno County is a lake in California and covers about 4.6 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; make the next cast parallel to the edge.
Fish listed for Bathtub Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
The first rainbow trout pass on Bathtub Lake should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then use a moving lure to search.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then slow down after the first bite.
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; check the first shelf outside shallow cover; try natural colors in clear water.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the repeat 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; keep the bait near useful cover.
