Rivers of America

Anglers know Rivers of America as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of California, United States. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Rivers of America is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Spotted bass

  When fishing for spotted bass in reservoirs, focus on points, humps, and channel bends where they often congregate to ambush prey.

• For California yellowtail amberjack

  Use a fluorocarbon leader to reduce visibility in clear water, and match your hook size to the size of your bait.
