About Petaluma Reservoir
Tucked into California, United States, Petaluma Reservoir is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Petaluma Reservoir should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.

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 Striped bass
Match the hatch! Pay attention to what the stripers are feeding on and select lures or baits that mimic the size and color of the local forage.
- For Common carp
Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
