Striped Bass
Targeting striped bass near Clearlake, California, presents a unique freshwater opportunity, distinct from the coastal fisheries typically associated with this species. While Clearlake itself is not prime striper habitat, focus your efforts on the Sacramento River Delta, easily accessible within a couple hours' drive. Spring and fall are peak seasons as stripers migrate through the Delta. During these periods, pay close attention to water temperatures and clarity; stripers prefer cooler, clearer water. A productive technique involves trolling deep-diving crankbaits or casting swimbaits near structure, especially around bridge pilings or submerged trees. For bank access, try the areas around Rio Vista or Isleton. Remember, striped bass regulations in California can be complex and change frequently, so always check the latest DFW guidelines before heading out.
