Largemouth Bass

If you're looking for largemouth bass fishing near Caliente, Nevada, Eagle Valley Reservoir and Schroeder Reservoir are your best bets. These smaller impoundments offer a more intimate fishing experience compared to larger lakes. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as the bass move into shallower water to feed and spawn. During the summer months, focus on fishing early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the heat and find active fish. Weedless lures, such as Texas-rigged worms and spinnerbaits, are effective around the abundant vegetation. The largemouth in these reservoirs aren't generally huge, but they are plentiful and provide consistent action. A local tip: try fishing near the dam at Eagle Valley Reservoir, as the deeper water often holds larger fish. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate depending on irrigation demands, so check conditions before you go.
