Schober Lakes is a lake in Inyo County, California and covers about 3.5 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; use water color to choose the first lure, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Schober Lakes include Brook Trout.
How to Read the Water
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; fish one point at two depths, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
Season by Season
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; follow the outside weed line, then keep the first route short.
A Simple Tackle Plan
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; check the first shelf outside shallow cover; keep a worm ready for a slower check.
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; begin beside green weeds, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
