Fish species in Frog Lakes

Frog Lakes in Tulare County is a lake in California and covers about 2.9 acres.

One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; cast across the break instead of along it, then repeat the depth that gives the first bite.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Frog Lakes include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

The first rainbow trout pass on Frog Lakes should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

How to Read the Water

Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; work a quiet shoreline, then use a smaller lure in clear water.

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; test the quiet side before the windy side, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.

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; note the exact cover that gives a bite; keep the presentation close to useful cover.

Record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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; use one moving lure and one slow bait.
