Spotted Bass
For spotted bass in the San Dimas area, you'll want to focus your efforts on Puddingstone Reservoir. While not as abundant as largemouth, spotted bass are present and can offer a fun challenge. These fish tend to prefer rocky areas and steeper drop-offs. Spring and fall are ideal, as they become more active in shallower water. During the summer, target deeper structure with drop-shot rigs or Carolina rigs. A practical tip is to use your electronics to locate submerged rock piles or ledges – these are prime spots for spotted bass. The area around the dam and the western shoreline often hold these fish. Remember to use fluorocarbon line, as spotted bass can be line-shy. Access is through Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park, with boat ramps available for those wanting to explore the whole lake.
