Jamison Lake is a lake in Plumas County, California and covers about 22.7 acres and holds roughly 300 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; keep the first pass close to structure, then repeat the first clean pattern.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Jamison Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
While looking for rainbow trout on Jamison Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
For brown trout on Jamison Lake, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.
How to Read the 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; search one cove before changing areas, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.
Season by Season
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; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then make short moves after each 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; try a brighter bait when the water is dirty; use a smaller lure in clear water.
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; test a shaded bank, then change lure speed before moving.
