Novillo, Mexico - Fishing & Camping Information

Fish Species

• Catfish
• Crappie
• Largemouth Bass

Lake Novillo is in Sonora, Mexico. Lake Novillo is only two hours from Hermosillo and is located in Sonora's most beautiful and rugged mountains, near a sleepy little town by the name of San Pedro De La Cueva, a 70 mile long impoundment with endless points and coves amidst mountainous terrain and three small towns with a combined population of only 1,800 people. Fed by the Yaqui and Moctezuma rivers, El Novillo Lake is home to a mean strain of Northern Largemouth bass. If an affordable Mexican bass adventure is the plan, this lake may be just the place.

The local governments stocked 375,000 Florida strain fingerlings three years ago in the hopes of increasing the size of the average catch here which is roughly only two pounds. The lake record, though, is thirteen and a half pounds and fish in the range of four to six pounds are caught regularly. Lake Novillo is absolutely loaded with bass in the three to seven pound range. There is also a good possibility of hooking into a monster double digit largemouth! Natural forage for the bass in this lake are shad, bluegill, crappie, and of course tilapia.
