Bull Run Lake is a lake in California, near Alpine County.
Bull Run Lake is a lake in Alpine County, California and covers about 7.6 acres, reaches about 15.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 47 acre-feet.
Bull Run Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Bull Run Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
While looking for rainbow trout on Bull Run 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; begin beside green weeds, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then use the old channel as a guide.
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; test a point before fishing a featureless bank; try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
Record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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; check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
