Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Cloverdale, California in search of largemouth bass, the Russian River and nearby Lake Mendocino are your primary targets. The Russian River offers a unique challenge with its fluctuating water levels and often tannin-stained water. Look for bass holding near submerged structure like fallen trees and rocky outcroppings, especially after a period of stable water levels. Lake Mendocino, on the other hand, provides a more typical reservoir environment. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn. Try targeting the backs of coves and weed lines with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics. A local tip: Access to the Russian River can be limited, so scout out public access points beforehand. Also, be aware that the river can rise quickly after rainfall, making wading dangerous.
