Lake Merced Fishing Overview

Water Description

Lake Merced is set in the heart of San Francisco and features a decent cold-weather trout fishery (stocked by the CDFW) along with warm-water fishing for largemouth bass, catfish, and carp. Due to Merced's proximity to the city, it is heavily pressured, which can make coaxing bites for all species a challenge.
