Good mornin' Deb, welcome to the Forum, sorry, I have never fished that lake.


Convict lake had a small stream at the far end thats where the trout set up to feed! Rent a boat ... try to fish off the inlet creek . Its in a big bowl ! Granite all around . There has been low water this year due to ongoing drought !

One thing about Convict Lake is fishing the lower parts of Convict Creek, just floating around with a worm, woolly Buggers, of a Salmon egg on a small hook, lots of fish.

Would agree, caught a lot of nice trout in that creek over ther years. Mainly floating salmon eggs, or even powerbait.
