The fishing is exceptional on Lake Folsom, which is known for bass fishing success. The most desired game species besides bass on Folsom Lake are catfish, Chinook salmon, and rainbow trout. The rest of the game species include bluegill, bream, black crappie, yellow perch, kokanee salmon, and green sunfish. Folsom Lake is one of California’s best landlocked Chinook salmon fishing lakes where they reproduce naturally.
