Fish species in Bobby Lake

Bobby Lake is a lake in Fresno County, California and covers about 1.1 acres.

The small size of Bobby Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Bobby Lake include Brook Trout, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.

A useful rainbow trout plan on Bobby Lake is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

How to Read the 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; use a slow bait after the search lure, then fish the edge from top to bottom.

Season by Season

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; test the quiet side before the windy side, then repeat the first clean pattern.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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; watch for food before choosing lure depth; separate open-water fish from bank fish.

Record the wind, water color, depth of the first good 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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then separate open water from cover.
