Whisky Lake is a lake in Del Norte County, California and covers about 0.9 acres.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; work the best shade during bright hours, then change lure speed before moving.
Fish listed for Whisky Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
For rainbow trout on Whisky Lake, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself; start beside the first useful break, then separate open-water fish from bank fish.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; fish the first useful drop, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
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; return to productive water when light changes; use wind to narrow the search.
Record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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 the first deep shelf after the bank, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
