Bunker Lake is a lake in California, near Placer County.
Bunker Lake is a lake in Placer County, California and covers about 7.8 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; start near the best mix of cover, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
Fish listed for Bunker Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
One direct rainbow trout tactic on Bunker Lake is to 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; start with the cover closest to deep water, 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; begin beside green weeds, then write down the depth that works.
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; match lure size to the fish; keep the first pass close to structure, then try natural colors in clear water.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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; pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
