Fishing near Martinez, California

Set in Contra Costa County, Martinez is a California town. A short drive changes the water type completely. The near choices are: Martinez Reservoir at about 1.6 miles to the south-east, Mallard Reservoir at about 5.1 miles, Selby Reservoir at about 6.2 miles to the west plus Leland Reservoir at about 8.9 miles. Selby Reservoir has a hard edge and little natural cover, so wind and light decide the day. Cold never shuts these down. The hot middle hours are the part to avoid. Few areas offer this much variety so close together. Look for the line where sand gives way to silt. Closest is Martinez Reservoir at around 14 acres of water. Parking is recorded at Martinez Reservoir. County records name striped bass, green sturgeon, white sturgeon and Atlantic cod among the fish present. Take the California rules with you, since they apply throughout....
