Knob Lake is a lake in California, near Fresno County.

Fish listed for Knob Lake include Brook Trout, and Golden Trout.
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; look for a clean edge beside cover, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
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; start with the cover closest to deep water, 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; check the first shelf outside shallow cover; begin near moving water, then add vibration in stained water.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the repeat bite, 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; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then repeat the depth that gives the first bite.
