Spotted Bass
Los Banos isn't exactly known as a spotted bass hotspot, but if you're willing to explore, you can find some surprisingly good fishing in the California Aqueduct and its connected waterways. These spots offer a unique opportunity to target spotted bass in a somewhat unconventional environment. Spring and fall are ideal, as the water temperatures are more moderate and the fish are actively feeding. Focus your efforts around riprap, bridge pilings, and any other structure that provides cover. Small swimbaits, jigs, and crankbaits are effective choices. Be mindful of the strong currents, especially during periods of high water flow. Access can be a bit challenging in some areas, so be prepared to do some walking. Check local regulations regarding fishing from bridges and other infrastructure. While you might not catch huge numbers, the chance to land a quality spotted bass in these waters makes it a worthwhile endeavor.
