WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Lake Oroville is a 15,800-acre deep-water reservoir in Butte County, Northern California, impounded on the Feather River by the Oroville Dam. It is considered by many California anglers to be the premier bass lake in the state, with one of the most diverse bass assemblages in North America including largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, and redeye bass. Its deep, clear water and complex rocky structure produce exceptional fishing for multiple species year-round. Spot Features: Lake Oroville is a 15,800-acre deep-water reservoir on the Feather River in Butte County, with a highly varied shoreline of rocky bluffs, flooded timber, and the three major arms of the North, Middle, and South Forks. Spotted bass concentrate on steep rocky banks and creek arm points, a 4-inch dark-colored straight-tail worm on a dart-head jig is the go-to local technique. Largemouth bass are best targeted in the South Fork arm and around coves with submerged timber. Five boat ramps and two marinas provide access across the lake. Seasonality: Spotted bass and largemouth bass are active year-round at Lake Oroville, with the best largemouth action in spring around submerged timber and rocky coves. Spotted bass are found in schools on steep rocky banks and points throughout the year, with a peak in late winter and spring. Redeye bass occupy the tributary arms and cooler upper reaches. Chinook salmon and rainbow trout enter the lake from winter through spring, with trout fishing best in cooler water months. White sturgeon are present in the deepest portions year-round.
