Fishing at San Luis Reservoir

San Luis Reservoir lies near Pacheco Pass in California’s western San Joaquin Valley. It is separate from O’Neill Forebay and Los Banos Creek Reservoir, although all three share a state recreation area. San Luis Reservoir and O’Neill Forebay support striped bass, largemouth bass and crappie.

Planning to launch a boat? Check the park’s boating and access information for ramp availability at Dinosaur Point and Basalt. Wind can rise quickly here, and falling water levels can expose shallow areas and hazards. Compare the hourly wind outlook with your planned fishing hours and follow the park’s posted instructions and warning lights.

Check current boating and ramp restrictions

Published park and vessel-use hours: 6 a.m. to sunset.
