Spotted Bass
Spotted Bass fishing around Cottonwood, Arizona, offers a fun alternative to Largemouth, though they're generally less abundant. The Verde River is your best bet, particularly in the rocky sections with deeper pools and faster currents. These fish prefer the moving water and can often be found holding near boulders and submerged logs. Spring and fall are ideal, mirroring the Largemouth season, but Spotted Bass remain active even in the cooler winter months. A useful local tip is to focus on areas where smaller creeks and streams feed into the Verde River, as these spots often concentrate baitfish and, consequently, Spotted Bass. Downsizing your lures and using lighter line can be crucial for enticing bites in the clear water. Try small jigs, swimbaits, or even live bait. The Verde River's Spotted Bass are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights, making for an enjoyable angling experience.
