Everett Lake is a lake in California, near Shasta County.
Everett Lake is a lake in Shasta County, California and covers about 8.2 acres.
The small size of Everett Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Everett Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with rainbow trout on Everett Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
The first brown trout pass on Everett Lake should work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving 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; fish one point at two depths, then use wind to narrow the search.
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; match lure size to the visible food, then match the hook and line to the named target.
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; use wind to narrow the search; give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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; start on a firm point, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
