Seasonal Activity Chart
Striped Bass
While South El Monte isn't exactly known as a striped bass mecca, you can find some striper action within a reasonable drive. The California Aqueduct, while not in South El Monte itself, can offer opportunities for freshwater striped bass fishing. It's a bit of a drive east, but worth considering. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target stripers in the aqueduct as they migrate. Keep an eye on water flow conditions, as fluctuating levels can affect the fishing. Lure selection can be varied; swimbaits, crankbaits, and topwater lures can all produce. Be prepared for long casts and covering a lot of water. Always check current regulations, as they can change frequently. Remember that the aqueduct can be dangerous, so exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings.
