Weaver Lake is a reservoir in California, near Nevada County.
Weaver Lake in Nevada County is a reservoir in California and covers about 81.1 acres, reaches about 39.9 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1,390 acre-feet.
A point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline; test the clearest edge, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
Fish listed for Weaver Lake include Brook Trout, Brown Bullhead, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
When brown bullhead are the target on Weaver Lake, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light.
While looking for rainbow trout on Weaver Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
One direct brown trout tactic on Weaver Lake is to work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving 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; pause the bait on each small drop, then compare shallow and deeper water.
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; check the coolest inflow, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
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; slow the bait when a good edge appears; make short moves after each pass.
Record the wind, water color, depth of the first good 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; follow the outside weed line, then keep the presentation close to useful cover.
