Fish species in Coon Camp Springs

Coon Camp Springs is a lake in Lassen County, California and covers about 9.6 acres.

The small size of Coon Camp Springs makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Coon Camp Springs include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Lahontan Redside, and Largemouth Bass.

When bluegill are the target on Coon Camp Springs, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.

A useful largemouth bass plan on Coon Camp Springs is to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.

Start the channel catfish search on Coon Camp Springs by trying to fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.

When common carp are the target on Coon Camp Springs, place corn or a dough bait on the bottom along a shallow flat.

How to Read the 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; follow any bait found near the surface, then look for a second bite before leaving.

Season by Season

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; give shaded water a separate pass.

A Simple Tackle Plan

A medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; check the downwind corner for food, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.

Record the wind, water color, depth beside the useful cover, 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 the first route short.
