About Lake McClure
Tucked into California, United States, Lake McClure is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lake McClure should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques
- For Spotted bass
When fishing for spotted bass in reservoirs, focus on points, humps, and channel bends where they often congregate to ambush prey.
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
