Kilarc Reservoir - CA

Lake Information
Fish Species: | Rainbow Trout |
Kilarc Reservoir is a small Shasta County lake, provides a serene fishing experience, primarily for stocked rainbow trout, potentially augmented by largemouth bass, panfish, and catfish. Optimal trout angling employs bait (PowerBait, worms) or spin casting with spoons/spinners. Warm-water species respond to soft plastics (bass) or small jigs/worms (panfish/catfish). Water temperature significantly influences trout activity; cooler conditions are preferred. Access is generally good, with shoreline fishing and potential non-motorized boat options. Anglers must adhere to CDFW regulations for this consistent recreational fishery.
