Kidder Lake is a lake in Siskiyou County, California and covers about 2.9 acres.

Fish listed for Kidder Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Speckled Dace, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with rainbow trout on Kidder Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
A useful brown trout plan on Kidder Lake is to work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; work the best shade during bright hours, then use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.
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; use a slow bait after the search lure, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
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; note the exact cover that gives a bite; use the old channel as a guide.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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; cast across the point tip, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
