Bass is one the the top sought-after fish to catch in the California sport of fishing. While golden trout dominate the Sierra Nevada back-country, bass can be found in numerous lakes and most reservoirs in the west. The Dept of Fish & Game stock or 'plant' California lakes with bass that are raised in fish hatcheries. Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass and Spotted Bass. Below are just a few of the lakes that are regularly supplied with 'planted' bass: These are the best waterways & lakes for bass fishing - The California Delta Gold Country Reservoirs (like Don Pedro, Millerton Lake, New Melones) Lake Almanor Lake Berryessa Big Bear Lake Bullards Bar Reservoir Lake Castaic Clear Lake Folsom Lake Lake Nacimiento Lake Oroville Lower Otay Lake Pine Flat Lake Pyramid Lake Lake Shasta Silverwood Reservoir Trinity Lake Looking for BASS LAKE near Yosemite National Park ?

Camping Lake Originally uploaded by danamight Amazing weekends in the High Sierra. Crisp, clean air, incredible mountain scenery in the alpine country. July 4th was not-so-crowded at Highland Lakes. Although all 35 campsites were filled, the nights were silent & you could hear the frogs. Very few boats on the lakes overall. Plenty people fishing. Kayaks & canoes, a dream location. Wildflowers just starting in mid July. Snow melt was all around us at 9000' elevation. Deep in the Stanislaus National Forest , Hwy 4/ Ebbetts Pass.

Many unique qualities attract us to the west coast. Terrain, great weather and the Pacific Ocean. For those born here in Cali they find solitude in every meadow, secluded streams and dirt back roads. For the newcomers, Cali is a new beginning and often city focused. Until decades later, when the college and careers wear off and you crave more nature. The extreme landscape, the diversity, the wilderness, the people, the plants. Sequoia trees of California. All parks, listed just for you. Coastal redwoods of the north coast to the giants of the Sierra Nevada. Big, Old, Tall Trees: redwood parks
