Nun Lake is a reservoir in California, near Merced County.
Nun Lake is a reservoir in Merced County, California and covers about 3.2 acres, reaches about 16.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 22.6 acre-feet.
Nun Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Nun Lake include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, Prickly Sculpin, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with bluegill on Nun Lake, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
The first largemouth bass pass on Nun Lake should work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
When channel catfish are the target on Nun Lake, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
One direct rainbow trout tactic on Nun Lake is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; start near the best mix of cover, then look for a second bite before leaving.
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; work from shallow to deep, then add vibration in stained water.
Spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search; cast across the point tip, then add vibration in stained 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; keep the bait near useful cover; test a point before fishing a featureless bank.
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; follow the old channel through the lake, then check both sides of the point.
