Paul Kneeland fished Gold Lake in Sierra County with John Brassfield in John’s 18’ Duckworth. They fished in the middle of December when you usually can’t access the lake. They caught rainbow and german brown trout to 17 inches casting plastics using a 7 foot Wade Rods ultralight spinning rod with a Abu Garcia Revo STX reel loaded with 15 lb test Stren sinking braided line in water 10 to 40 feet deep.
