Hidden Lakes is a lake in California, near Lassen County.
Hidden Lakes in Lassen County is a lake in California and covers about 4.1 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then let two bites set the useful depth.
Fish listed for Hidden Lakes include Brook Trout, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
The first rainbow trout pass on Hidden Lakes should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool 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; match lure size to the visible food, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; follow any bait found near the surface, then use the same depth on the next similar feature.
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; keep one slow bait ready; try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
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; work a creek turn before a flat bank, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.
