Largemouth Bass
For Largemouth Bass near Nogales, Arizona, Pena Blanca Lake is a prime destination. This small, scenic lake nestled in the Coronado National Forest offers a surprisingly good bass fishery. Spring and fall are the best times to target largemouth here, as the water temperatures are more favorable for active feeding. Look for bass near the dam, along the weed lines, and around any submerged structure. Plastic worms, crankbaits, and topwater lures can all be effective. A local tip: Pena Blanca Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends, so arriving early is highly recommended. Also, be aware of the lake's elevation; at over 4,000 feet, the air is thinner, and the sun is stronger. The largemouth bass in Pena Blanca Lake are known for being relatively aggressive, and while they may not be trophy-sized, they provide consistent action in a beautiful setting.
