Iridescent Lake is a lake in California, near Tulare County.
Iridescent Lake is a lake in Tulare County, California and covers about 25.4 acres.
Iridescent Lake is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
Fish listed for Iridescent Lake include Brook Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on Iridescent 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; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; follow the old channel through the lake, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
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; try a natural color before a loud pattern; use a moving lure to search.
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; test the quiet side before the windy side, then check both sides of the point.
