Big Marshy Lake is a lake in California, near Trinity County.
Big Marshy Lake is a lake in Trinity County, California and covers about 7 acres.
The small size of Big Marshy Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Big Marshy Lake include Brook Trout, Speckled Dace, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with rainbow trout on Big Marshy Lake, 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; fish where rock meets mud, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
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; start on a firm point, then add vibration in stained water.
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; compare shallow and deeper water; repeat the first clean pattern.
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; use wind to narrow the search.
