Nora Lake is a lake in California, near Shasta 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.
Nora Lake is a lake in Shasta County, California and covers about 3.2 acres.
The small size of Nora Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Nora Lake 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; change lure speed before moving.
Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; cast across the point tip, then check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
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 downwind corner for food, then test the drop before leaving.
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; let wind choose the first bank, then return to productive water when light changes.
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 slow bait after the search lure, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
