McAlpine Lake - San Juan Bautista, CA
Lake Information
| Fish Species: | Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, Lightning Trout |
McAlpine Lake, San Juan Bautista, CA, is a private, managed fishery providing consistent angling for trout, bass, catfish, and bluegill. Regularly stocked trout (e.g., rainbow) respond well to worms and chartreuse PowerBait, often found deeper in warmer conditions. Bass actively strike topwater poppers, while catfish readily take shad and stink baits. Bluegill bite on red worms and PowerBait "nibblers." Anglers should note scheduled trout plants, which refresh the fishery. Success is contingent upon adapting techniques to species-specific depth preferences and adhering to the lake's operational rules for a predictable and productive angling experience.
