Dune Lakes is a lake in San Luis Obispo County, California.
No reliable acreage is listed for Dune Lakes, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Dune Lakes include Prickly Sculpin, and Rainbow Trout.
A useful rainbow trout plan on Dune Lakes is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; check the coolest inflow, then keep the bait near useful cover.
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; start beside the first useful break, 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; save the heaviest tackle for deep cover; keep the first route short.
Record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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; look along a shallow shelf, then use one moving lure and one slow bait.
