Fish species in Triangle Lake

Triangle Lake in Lassen County is a reservoir in California and covers about 50.2 acres, reaches about 35.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 758.4 acre-feet.

Triangle Lake can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Triangle Lake include Brook Trout, Lahontan Redside, Speckled Dace, Rainbow Trout, and Tahoe Sucker.

When rainbow trout are the target on Triangle Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.

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; begin near moving water, then keep the first route short.

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; work a quiet shoreline, then fish the edge from top to bottom.

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; keep one slow bait ready; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then match lure size to the fish.

Record the wind, water color, depth that gave up a 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; start beside the first useful break, then let two bites set the useful depth.
