Fish listed for Kinnear Lake include Black Bullhead, Burbot, Channel Catfish, and Yellow Perch.
For yellow perch, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf at Kinnear Lake.
For channel catfish, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat at Kinnear Lake.

For burbot, fish a jig or natural bait close to the bottom during cold, low-light periods at Kinnear Lake.
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 at Kinnear Lake.
At Kinnear Lake, 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.
When fishing Kinnear Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
On Kinnear Lake, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
