Upper Gaylor Lake is a lake in California, near Tuolumne County.
Upper Gaylor Lake is a lake in Tuolumne County, California and covers about 10.4 acres.
Upper Gaylor Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Upper Gaylor Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with rainbow trout on Upper Gaylor Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool 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; check the downwind corner for food, then keep the bait above soft bottom.
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; start where bait gathers, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
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 line light around small clear-water fish; change depth before changing the whole spot, then use one moving lure and one slow bait.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the best 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; try firm bottom before soft silt, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
