Camp Lake in Tuolumne County is a lake in California and covers about 6.3 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; add vibration in stained water.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Camp Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
While looking for rainbow trout on Camp Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
How to Read the Water
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; start beside the first useful break, then separate open water from cover.
Season by Season
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
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; use wind to narrow the search; fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
Record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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 short moves after each pass.
