California is well known for its bass fishing. Angling in a State Park, National Park, or National Forest is an excellent way to spend some time alone or with the family. Many spots are accessible by car or four wheel drive vehicle. Other spots can only be accessed by hiking, mountain biking, or backpacking to them.
Many campgrounds come complete with built-in access for anglers.

Attractions - With such a wide variety of angling available in this state, there will come the difficult choice of deciding where to fish. Most recomended is the "old-fashioned" method of asking the local townsfolk what's a good area once you've decided to select a particular area, while some may be reluctant to give up the secrets to their favorite spots, you'll find that every fisherman loves to talk about fishing and may, inadverantly, give up the secret garden spot. Be sure to ask them what's the best fish to catch as well.
