WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Lake McClure is a 8,900-acre Merced Irrigation District reservoir on the Merced River in Mariposa County, California, near Yosemite National Park's western approaches. It is celebrated for its outstanding spotted bass fishery in clear, cold water alongside largemouth bass and stocked rainbow trout, making it one of the finest multi-species fishing reservoirs in the Central California foothills. Spot Features: Lake McClure is a 8,900-acre reservoir on the Merced River in Mariposa County, California, featuring clear water, granite canyon walls, and diverse structure. Spotted bass, which prefer rocky structure in clearer water, are targeted with crankbaits and jerkbaits along the canyon walls, largemouth bass in the vegetated coves with soft plastics, rainbow trout with trolling gear and Power Bait in cooler months. Multiple boat ramps provide access. Seasonality: Spotted bass and largemouth bass are the primary year-round sport fish at Lake McClure in the mild Central California foothills climate, with peak activity in spring during the spawning period and in fall. Rainbow trout are stocked in the cooler months providing fishing from fall through spring. The clear, deep reservoir supports an excellent multi-species fishery.
