Fish species in Sharon Lake

Sharon Lake is a lake in Tuolumne County, California and covers about 5 acres.

Sharon Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Sharon Lake include Brook Trout, Golden Trout, and Rainbow Trout.

One direct rainbow trout tactic on Sharon Lake is to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

How to Read the 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; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then match lure size to the fish.

Season by Season

Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; check rock and weeds as separate patterns, then watch water color during the day.

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; use wind to narrow the search; test the quiet side before the windy side, then check both sides of the point.

Record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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 rock and weeds as separate patterns, then keep one slow bait ready.
