Guide To Fishing At Lake Sonoma In Central CA
AKA: Sonoma Reservoir
What to fish for...
Fishing for largemouth bass, spotted bass, channel catfish, flathead catfish, black crappie, rainbow trout, bluegill and redear sunfish at Lake Sonoma in California.

Everything you need for water-related recreation is available at Lake Sonoma, a 2,680 acre lake, located in the northwest part of the state, only ten miles west of Cloverdale. This scenic reservoir has fifty miles of shoreline to explore, and it's loaded with fish. Bass, crappie, trout, catfish and sunfish all thrive here in good numbers and size.
Access to the shoreline for bank fishing is somewhat limited due to the terrain, but most campgrounds have areas available. The Lake Sonoma Boat Launch is located on the southwest corner of the lake at the bridge on Rockpile Road. A launch ramp is in the back of Yorty Creek, on the east side of the lake off Shady Lane. The Lake Sonoma Resort Area Marina has a boat launch ramp off Marina Road.
