• Where to Fish on San Solomon Spring

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Records collected within a few miles name headwater catfish, green sunfish, channel catfish, flathead catfish and yaqui catfish. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Fish San Solomon Spring to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 81°F and January near 46°F. No part of the year shuts this water. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Anyone fishing San Solomon Spring regularly works to that calendar. Weed growth peaks in late summer and changes where you can fish.
