Deep Lake is a lake in California, near Siskiyou County.
Deep Lake is a lake in Siskiyou County, California and covers about 31.5 acres, reaches about 22.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 287.4 acre-feet.
A point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline; try the strongest cover, then check both sides of the point.
Fish listed for Deep Lake include Brook Trout, Speckled Dace, and Rainbow Trout.
The first rainbow trout pass on Deep Lake should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool 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; check the coolest inflow, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
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; look along a shallow shelf, then use a moving lure to search.
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; let a light jig fall beside the break; use the same depth on the next similar feature.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the repeat bite, 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; begin over firm bottom, then test the drop before leaving.
