Largemouth Bass
San Gabriel offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing within easy reach. While you won't find sprawling lakes, the local reservoirs and water features like Legg Lake and Whittier Narrows Recreation Area hold decent populations of bass. These are smaller, urban fisheries, so presentation is key. Spring and fall are prime times to target bass, as they are more active during these periods with moderate water temperatures. During the spawn (spring), focus on shallow areas with vegetation. In the fall, bass will often school up and chase baitfish. For Legg Lake, try fishing around the tules and submerged structure with finesse techniques like drop-shotting or Texas-rigged worms. Small crankbaits and swimbaits can also be effective. Access is generally good at both locations, with parking and walking paths available. Be mindful of other park users and keep noise to a minimum. The bass in these urban fisheries tend to be pressured, so using lighter line and natural-looking presentations can significantly improve your success.
