Lost Spoon Lake is a lake in Siskiyou County, California and covers about 3 acres, reaches about 12.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 14.5 acre-feet.
The small size of Lost Spoon Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Lost Spoon Lake include Brook Trout, Speckled Dace, and Rainbow Trout.
Start the rainbow trout search on Lost Spoon Lake by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; pause the bait on each small drop, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
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; give shaded water a separate pass; use a light bait when the water is clear, then return to productive water when light changes.
Record the wind, water color, depth beside the clean edge, 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; keep the first pass close to structure, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
