Kangaroo Lake is a reservoir in California, near Siskiyou County.
Kangaroo Lake is a reservoir in Siskiyou County, California and covers about 21.4 acres, reaches about 27.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 168 acre-feet.
The small size of Kangaroo Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Kangaroo Lake include Brook Trout, Speckled Dace, and Rainbow Trout.
Start the rainbow trout search on Kangaroo Lake by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; start beside the first useful break, then use wind to narrow the search.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; match lure size to the visible food, then test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
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; match the hook and line to the named target; follow bait before changing areas.
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; save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
