Chace Valley is a lake in Lassen County, California and covers about 16.6 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; let wind choose the first bank, then use a moving lure to search.
Fish listed for Chace Valley include Hardhead, Sacramento Pikeminnow, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
While looking for rainbow trout on Chace Valley, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
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; keep one slow bait ready.
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; test a shaded bank, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
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; change retrieve speed before changing lures; match the hook and line to the named target.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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 downwind corner for food, then match lure size to the fish.
