Kleaver Lake is a lake in Siskiyou County, California and covers about 3.1 acres.
Kleaver Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Kleaver Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Speckled Dace, and Rainbow Trout.
While looking for rainbow trout on Kleaver Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
To begin with brown trout on Kleaver Lake, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.
How to Read the 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; check the clean side of wind, then make short moves after each pass.
Season by Season
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; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then add vibration in stained water.
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; let a light jig fall beside the break; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then check both sides of the point.
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; start with the cover closest to deep water, then fish the same shape nearby.
