FISHING CALIFORNIA

Kirkwood Lake


April 27, 2024

Kirkwood Lake is a popular fishing spot located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout, brown trout, and occasionally brook trout. Fishing enthusiasts can also catch smallmouth bass, bluegill, and catfish. Nearby activities include hiking, camping, and skiing, as Kirkwood Mountain Resort is just a few miles away. Anglers can use lures, bait, or flies to catch fish. The best time to visit is from spring to fall, as the lake is usually frozen over in winter. Average temperatures in the summer months range from 60-80°F.
