Lois Lake in Trinity County is a lake in California and covers about 2.1 acres.
The small size of Lois Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Lois Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Speckled Dace, and Rainbow Trout.
Start the rainbow trout search on Lois Lake by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
When brown trout are the target on Lois Lake, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water.
How to Read the Water
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; let wind choose the first bank, then slow down after the first bite.
Season by Season
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; test the quiet side before the windy side, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
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; keep the first route short; begin beside green weeds, then make short moves after each pass.
Record the wind, water color, depth that gave up a fish, 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 an old channel turn, then test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
