About Cherry Lake
Anglers know Cherry Lake as one of the lesser-trafficked reservoirs of California, United States. The standard playbook on a reservoir this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Cherry Lake is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques
- 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.
- For Pumpkinseed
Use light tackle, such as an ultralight rod and reel with 4-6 pound test line, for maximum sensitivity and fun while fishing for pumpkinseeds.
- For Brown trout
When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
