Red Bluff Lake Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

The lake filled up in 2015-2016 and has developing populations of white bass and largemouth bass. Legal size whites are now available; some largemouths should reach legal size later in 2016.

Cover & Structure

The structure in Red Bluff Reservoir varies from mud and gravelly flats to steep drop-offs and creek channels. Cover is provided by the beds of sago pondweed in the main area of the lake and by flooded terrestrial vegetation around all parts of the lake.

Tips & Tactics

Largemouth bass fishing at Red Bluff Lake peaks during spring pre-spawn when fish move to shallow flats and points — work Texas-rigged soft plastics, lipless crankbaits, and spinnerbaits for best results. White bass form aggressive surface-feeding schools in fall chasing shad into shallow coves — silver spoons, small white grubs, and inline spinners all produce when fish are busting the surface.
