Post Lakes is a lake in Madera County, California and covers about 3.5 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; check a protected pocket, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
Fish listed for Post Lakes include Brook Trout.
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; use a small lure when bites are scarce, then keep a worm ready for a slower check.
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 rock and weeds as separate patterns, then repeat the first clean pattern.
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; keep the lure near the depth that produced, then repeat the first clean pattern.
Record the wind, water color, depth that held 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; check a protected pocket, then note the exact cover that gives a bite.
