Yost Lake is a lake in California, near Mono County.
Yost Lake is a lake in Mono County, California and covers about 4.2 acres.
Yost Lake is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Yost Lake include Brook Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
When rainbow trout are the target on Yost 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 near the best mix of cover, then make one pass close to bottom.
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; start where bait gathers, then change retrieve speed before changing lures.
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; watch for food before choosing lure depth.
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; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then slow the bait when a good edge appears.
