The pre spawn on Lake El Salto occurs in December and January with the spawn taking place in February and March. Fishing reports indicate the best time to catch the big post-spawn females is April, May and June.

We think the best time to catch the most double-digit bass in one fishing trip on El Salto is May and June.
