Cedar Lake is a lake in California, near Siskiyou County.
Cedar Lake in Siskiyou County is a lake in California and covers about 24.4 acres, reaches about 21.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 208.2 acre-feet.
The small size of Cedar Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Cedar Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
The first rainbow trout pass on Cedar Lake should 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; check the clean side of wind, then match lure size to the fish.
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; follow a short creek arm, then move only after checking the nearby drop.
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; note the exact cover that gives a bite; test the clearest edge, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the school held, 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; keep line light around small clear-water fish.
