High Lake is a lake in California, near Siskiyou County.
High Lake in Siskiyou County is a lake in California and covers about 5.7 acres.
The small size of High Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for High Lake include Brook Trout, Speckled Dace, and Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on High Lake, 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; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then keep one slow bait ready.
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; fish where rock meets mud, then follow bait before changing areas.
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 the bait above soft bottom; fish the edge from top to bottom.
Record the wind, water color, depth along the active 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; check the clearest edge before moving, then use a moving lure to search.
