Everly Reservoir is a reservoir in Modoc County, California and covers about 85.6 acres, reaches about 40.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 594 acre-feet.
A point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline; make short moves after each pass.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Everly Reservoir include Rainbow Trout.
One direct rainbow trout tactic on Everly Reservoir is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
How to Read the 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; start where bait gathers, then keep the bait near useful cover.
Season by Season
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; start on a firm point, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
A Simple Tackle Plan
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; fish the windy and calm sides differently; slow the bait when a good edge appears.
Record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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; cast across the break instead of along it, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
