The recorded size of Mann Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Mann Lake include Black Crappie, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Tui Chub.
During a cool spring morning near a windblown shore near visible bait, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a warm summer afternoon near the edge of deeper water with a moving bait, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During the first hour near a clean gravel patch with a moving bait, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat for channel catfish.
During the first hour near a narrow cove with a slow lure, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a methodical search near the edge of deeper water in clear water, Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
How to Read the Water
During a warm summer afternoon near the downwind side before changing depth, 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.
Season by Season
During the first hour near a creek-side turn with a moving bait, spring fishing starts 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During the last hour of daylight near the mouth of a pocket near visible bait, 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.
During a methodical search near a firm-bottom flat beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
