Spotted Bass
Pomona isn't necessarily known as a spotted bass hotspot, but they can be found in some of the surrounding reservoirs. To target spotted bass, consider heading to nearby waters like Puddingstone Reservoir or even venturing a bit further to Lake Casitas. Spotted bass thrive in clear, rocky environments, so focus your efforts around submerged rock piles, points, and bluff walls. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for them, as they become more active during these periods. Smaller swimbaits, crankbaits, and drop-shot rigs are all effective lures. Pay attention to water clarity, as spotted bass tend to be more line-shy than largemouth. Anglers report success around the dam at Puddingstone. Also, remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits before you head out.
