How do you catch trout at Lake Amador?
Target trout from late fall through early May from shore, or if in a boat, by toplining (trolling without downriggers, so the bait stays relatively shallow). The fishing pier is perfect for getting you over deeper water if landlocked. It extends out over 100 feet. Once it warms up, the trout go deep.
