Broodfish Waters is a lake in Siskiyou County, California.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Broodfish Waters is a lake in Siskiyou County, California and covers about 0.8 acres.
The small size of Broodfish Waters makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Broodfish Waters include Brook Trout, and Brown Trout.
The first brown trout pass on Broodfish Waters should work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.
Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; pause the bait on each small drop, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; use water color to choose the first lure, then use one moving lure and one slow bait.
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; look for a second bite before leaving; fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
