Fuller Lake is a reservoir in Nevada County, California and covers about 66.3 acres, reaches about 37.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1,127 acre-feet.
Fuller Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Fuller Lake include Brook Trout.
Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; keep the first route short.
How to Read the 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 clearest edge before moving, then use wind to narrow the search.
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; use a light bait when the water is clear, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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; change retrieve speed before changing lures; give shaded water a separate pass.
Record the wind, water color, depth beside the clean edge, 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; give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
