Lexington Reservoir

Lexington Reservoir, Los Gatos, CA, is a productive warm-water reservoir, primarily supporting 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. Access is generally good, though boating may be restricted to non-motorized vessels due to its water supply designation. Adherence to CDFW and local regulations is mandatory for sustainable practice.
