fantasy19 Posted July 12, 2024 Posted July 12, 2024 I watch Greg Blanchard's channel and he typically does well in the Northern CA reservoirs from a kayak. When I read about the Southern CA reservoirs (around Los Angeles), all I read about is how the fishing is tough. Is there a significant difference between the lakes in the North of the state and the South (assuming the skill level of the angler is the same)? Are there any geographic or other differences that are critical to an angler's success in the South that would be different from the North? Quote
Super User WRB Posted July 12, 2024 Super User Posted July 12, 2024 We tend to divid California into 3 regions; Northern, Central and Southern. The population density of both Northern and Central is about 1/2 of Southern California. Southern California is arid Mediterranean climate with little water source and high population living along the coastal area. 50% of SoCal is desert and mountains the balance is basically a city. SoCal bass fishing is located in reservoirs open to the public all highly pressured from recreational use and fishing. Central Cal is more rural with farming and is surrounded by High Sierra and Coastal mountains with more water supply then SoCal and larger reservoirs. Northern Cal Includes the San Jauqine Delta over 1,500 miles of shore area to bass fish, Clear Lake a the largest natural lake in the State, serveral major rivers and large reservoirs with good bass fishing and lower recreational and fishing pressure. NorCal is rural with both farming and surrounded by mountains High Sierras and coastal. The San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento make up the majority of the population density. Tom Quote
