Spotted Bass
While Richland Chambers Reservoir is primarily known for largemouth bass, spotted bass are also present and offer a fun alternative. These feisty fish tend to prefer clearer water and rockier structure compared to largemouth. Focus your efforts around riprap along the dam and bridge causeways, as well as any submerged rock piles you can find. Spring and fall are good times to target spotted bass, but they can be caught year-round with the right techniques. Smaller crankbaits, Texas-rigged worms, and jigs are all effective. One tip: pay close attention to water clarity. If the water is muddy, move to areas with clearer water, even if it means fishing shallower. Spotted bass in Richland Chambers may not reach the same size as largemouth, but they are aggressive fighters and can provide a welcome change of pace.
