Calero Lake

Calero Lake, Morgan Hill, CA, is a productive warm-water reservoir, primarily supporting robust populations of largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and channel catfish. 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. Accessible via public boat launches, Calero Lake is a popular multi-use recreational area; adherence to CDFW regulations is mandatory for sustainable practice.
