Largemouth Bass
While Truckee isn't the first place that springs to mind for largemouth bass fishing in California, several smaller lakes and reservoirs within driving distance offer surprisingly good opportunities. Boca Reservoir and Stampede Reservoir, both located a short drive from Truckee, can hold some decent-sized largemouth. These reservoirs offer a mix of rocky shorelines, submerged timber, and weed beds that provide excellent habitat. The best time to target largemouth here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Fish tend to be more active when the water temperatures rise. A local tip: focus on areas near the inlets where feeder creeks enter the reservoirs, as these areas often hold baitfish and, consequently, bass. Also, be aware that water levels can fluctuate significantly in these reservoirs, impacting fish location and access points; check current conditions before heading out.
