Bass action is slowing as the water cools. Most of the action is coming from very slow presentations. Drop shots, shaky heads, or slow-rolling underspins/swimbaits. Most fish are under a pound and look a bit thin. Winter patterns are easing in.

Sante Fe has received two CDFW trout stockings in December so far. While limits haven’t been overly common, folks are still finding fish soaking green PowerBait, mice tails, and pink Berkley floating worms. A few anglers are also getting bit on Panther Martins and other small spinners. Most trout are 10-11 inches, with a few over 14 inches.
