Thread: Norcal Fishing Spots?

Clear Lake is a great fishery most years, water is still very cold and when it warms to 58* you will be able to get them from shore. Lots of small lakes closer to you, but fish are smaller and less plentiful.

Thanks, Noodlerod! Yeah, I've heard that about Clear Lake. But I've also heard that the mercury levels are high there. Any other suggestions? I don't mind if the fish are smaller, as long as they are edible.

Also, do you mean a water temperature of 58*? What's the place to find out about a lakes water temperature? And is it correct to assume that when it gets to that temperature, that's when the spawn starts?
