Spotted Bass
While Largemouth Bass often steal the spotlight, Spotted Bass are also present in some of the lakes near Sierra Vista, adding another dimension to the local fishing scene. Parker Canyon Lake and Patagonia Lake are your best bets for finding them. These fish tend to prefer slightly deeper, clearer water than Largemouth, so focus your efforts on rocky structure, points, and drop-offs. Spring and fall are also prime times for Spotted Bass, coinciding with their spawning activity and increased feeding. A local tactic is to use finesse techniques like drop-shotting or shaky-head rigs with smaller worms and grubs. Spotted Bass in this region are typically smaller than Largemouth, with most fish ranging from 1-3 pounds. However, their aggressive strikes and fighting ability make them a fun target. Remember to consult the Arizona Game and Fish Department regulations for any specific rules or restrictions pertaining to Spotted Bass in these waters.
