Spotted Bass
Spotted Bass fishing near Chino Valley, Arizona, presents a unique challenge, as they aren't as widespread as Largemouth Bass. However, some of the deeper, clearer reservoirs within a reasonable drive, such as those in the surrounding Bradshaw Mountains, hold populations of these fish. Spotted Bass prefer cooler water and rocky habitats, so focus your efforts in these areas, especially during the spring and fall. They are known to be structure-oriented fish, so targeting points, drop-offs, and submerged timber is key. Finesse techniques, such as drop-shotting and using small jigs, are often effective. A local tip is to use fluorocarbon line, as Spotted Bass are often line-shy. Also, be aware that these reservoirs can have significant elevation changes, so be prepared for varying weather conditions. The Spotted Bass in this region tend to be smaller than Largemouth, but they are aggressive and can provide exciting action on light tackle.
