Hidden Lake is a lake in California, near Lassen County.
Hidden Lake in Lassen County is a lake in California and covers about 2.4 acres.
This water is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover; fish the same shape nearby.
Fish listed for Hidden Lake include Brown Trout, Sacramento Pikeminnow, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
For rainbow trout, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water; watch for food before choosing lure depth.
One direct brown trout tactic on Hidden Lake is to work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then match lure size to the fish.
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; check the clean side of wind, then slow down after the first bite.
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 a smaller lure in clear water; try the strongest cover, then watch water color during the day.
Record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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; compare shallow and deeper water.
