Fishing at Logan Lake, Shasta County, California

The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Logan Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Shasta County cover Chinook salmon, green sturgeon, rainbow trout and brook trout. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Logan Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 64°F in July and bottom out at 32°F in January. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That is the shape of the year on Logan Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Mapped as intermittent, it fills after rain and shrinks between. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Hufford Lake sits 5.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Logan Lake locally before you travel.
