Bass Lake - Montague, CA

Bass Lake is a prominent warm-water fishery, distinguished by its abundant spotted and black bass, with trophies exceeding seven pounds reported. Rainbow trout are stocked from mid-November through April, offering a distinct cold-water opportunity. Angling success for bass peaks in fall and spring, while trout thrive in cooler months. Shoreline fishing is effective for bluegill and trout, with boat angling for trout best with lures behind dodgers in the top 20 feet of water. Summer months transition larger trout to deeper, cooler waters.
