Lake Tabeaud is a reservoir in California, near Amador County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Lake Tabeaud is a reservoir in Amador County, California and covers about 30.8 acres, reaches about 30.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1,259 acre-feet.
Lake Tabeaud can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
Fish listed for Lake Tabeaud include Sacramento Pikeminnow, and Sacramento Sucker.
Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; fish where rock meets mud, then fish the windy and calm sides differently.
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; look for a clean edge beside cover, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
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; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
A medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then give shaded water a separate pass.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the first good 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; work the best shade during bright hours, then follow bait before changing areas.
