Lower Petite Lake is a lake in Fresno County, California and covers about 2.3 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; start where bait gathers, then use a moving lure to search.
Fish listed for Lower Petite Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
While looking for rainbow trout on Lower Petite Lake, 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; search one cove before changing areas, then fish the edge from top to bottom.
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; check the clean side of wind, then use a smaller lure in clear water.
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; work the bottom where the bank turns steep; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then let a light jig fall beside the break.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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; fish the warmest edge early in spring, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
