• Where to Fish on Little Ross Reservoir

Open biodiversity records for Lake County list rainbow trout, Sacramento sucker, warner sucker and brown bullhead. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Little Ross Reservoir before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 29°F in December to roughly 63°F in July. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Time your trip to Little Ross Reservoir by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Foster Reservoir at 3 miles is the nearest alternative. What applies at Little Ross Reservoir may have changed since it was mapped.
