About this spot

1 / 4

Experience

The spot provides a rich fishing experience with a variety of fish species like largemouth bass and rainbow trout, available in impressive sizes. Amenities such as wheelchair accessibility, peace, and quiet add to the comfort of the fishing experience. However, there are entry fees as the spot is managed by SMUD. Although family-friendly with bank fishing, piers, and picnic areas, amenities may at times be unavailable, and there might be uncertainties around boat rentals. The area can become crowded, especially during peak seasons, leading to increased fishing pressure.
Tips

Effective fishing strategies include using Ned rigs for bluegill and targeting larger fish on weekdays when the area is less crowded. Bring a personal boat or kayak to access a wider range of fishing spots and be conscious of restricted times for gas motor boats. For challenging fishing times due to high pressure, careful planning is advised.
Fishing seasons

The fishing spot benefits from mild and consistent wind conditions during the warmer months from April to September, making them ideal for fishing. The summer months also experience low precipitation, allowing for more frequent fishing activities. However, during the colder winter months, precipitation increases and can impact fishing conditions negatively. Additionally, strong winds may pose a challenge occasionally, particularly noted in early 2023.
