Chesbro Reservoir - Morgan Hill, CA

Lake Information

Fish Species:
Chesbro Reservoir, Morgan Hill, CA, is a productive warm-water fishery, primarily supporting largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and channel catfish. Its non-motorized boating restriction cultivates a tranquil angling environment. Current fish activity is rated "good," with optimal success focusing on shorelines with emergent vegetation. Anglers should employ slowly retrieved three-inch black weedless jigs, preferably with a rattle, on a medium-heavy rod with a fluorocarbon leader. Optimal bite times align with major and minor solunar periods. Water temperature is crucial for species activity. Adherence to CDFW regulations is mandatory for sustainable practice in this accessible and serene reservoir.
