One of Northern California's greatest fishing destinations, Lake Sonoma offers rich waters filled with catfish, steelhead trout, largemouth bass, spotted bass, crappie, and sunfish. Tucked in the coastal mountains north of Santa Rosa in northern Sonoma Country, the lake offers a full-service marina with fishing boats, supplies, bait, and gas. Anglers prefer the upper inlets of the lake where there are no water skiing and wake zones. The best trout fishing is in the feeder streams, and the best spots for bass fishing are Dry Creek Arm, Cherry Creek, and Yorty Creek.
