Spotted Bass
While Nogales, Arizona, isn't necessarily known as a spotted bass mecca, dedicated anglers can find them in Pena Blanca Lake, a relatively small but scenic reservoir about 15 miles northeast of town. This lake, nestled in the Coronado National Forest, offers a unique setting for targeting spots. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the water temperatures are more favorable, and the fish tend to be more active in shallower water. Focus your efforts around submerged structure, rocky points, and the dam area. A key tip: Pena Blanca can get crowded, especially on weekends. Arrive early to secure a good spot, whether you're fishing from the bank or launching a small boat. The spotted bass here aren't giants, averaging 1-2 pounds, but they're scrappy fighters and a rewarding catch in this desert landscape. The lake is stocked periodically, which helps maintain the population, but natural reproduction is limited due to the fluctuating water levels.
