Upper Seven Lake is a lake in Siskiyou County, California and covers about 5.3 acres, reaches about 14.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 29.9 acre-feet.
The small size of Upper Seven Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

For rainbow trout on Upper Seven 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; fish the first useful drop, then keep the presentation close to useful cover.
Season by Season
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; try the windblown bank, then use a moving lure to search.
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; make short moves after each pass; fish where rock meets mud, then use the old channel as a guide.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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 rocky edge, then keep the first route short.
