Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing at Echo Lake requires a different approach than in typical California reservoirs. The clear, cold water and relatively short growing season mean these bass behave differently. Focus your efforts during the warmer months, particularly late spring through summer, when the water temperatures are most conducive to largemouth activity. Target shallow, weedy areas and rocky points where the fish can ambush prey. Because of the clear water, use natural-looking presentations and lighter line. Early mornings and late evenings are prime times, as the bass tend to move into shallower water to feed under low-light conditions. The lake's elevation also means that the fish will be more active when the sun is higher in the sky. Consider using topwater lures early in the morning, and switch to jigs or Texas-rigged plastics as the day progresses. Remember to respect the lake's fragile environment and practice catch-and-release to help maintain the fishery.
