Nora Lake Fishing in Shasta County, California
Manton Area

I remembered the name of the lake, where my Dad took me when I was about 7 or eight. A couple of my friends and I were heading up to The Columbia, to fish for giant sturgeon, and I suggested we look for Lake Nora and Grace Lake, where my dad had taken me, as a young boy. We stopped at The Fly Shop, and they put us right on it. It was awesome. When we got there, everyone was bait fishing on the bottom, no one was catching anything, but the trout were jumping, all over the place. I pulled out my fly rod, and put a blue dunn on, and started catching trout instantly. There were kids there, and I was handing my fly rod off to them. We were having a blast, and all of a sudden, everyone started catching trout. Top, bottom, it didn't matter. I've never seen fishing like this before. It was almost like fishing in a trout farm. Then, as suddenly as it started, it stopped. We had a great time, and some amazing fishing. I would recomend this lake to anyone.

I went here with my brother and uncle and we caught 16 rainbow trout from 12-18 inches in about 3 hours. It's a stocked lake so sometimes it is better or worse. Use Salmon egges, worms and grub. They don't go for lures very often. Beautiful little lake with very clear water. Worth a trip.
