 Huntington Central Park lake is located on Edwards in between Slater and Ellis in the city of Huntington Beach. The California Department of Fish and Game stocks this lake with Rainbow trout from late fall to the early spring and Channel Catfish from the late spring to the early fall. I would not recommend this lake lake to anyone. The couple of times that I was there no one was catching anything and the water level is down really far about 20-30 feet depending on the day. People have also told me that there are a few Bluegill and Largemouth Bass in the Lake, but I have never seen anyone catch one. Remeber only take the fish if you are going to eat them, otherwise please practice catch and release and don’t litter!!!

Alamitos Bay is a great So Cal Surf Fishing destination. Located right next to the mouth of the San Gabriel River, it provides an Estuary filled with an assortment of different fish species. From Surf Perch and Sand Bass to Sharks and Rays your just never know what might be on the other end of your line. The quarter mile long rock jettys also create a great area for Float Tubing without the worry of drifting out to sea.

The California Department of Fish and Game stocks this creek with Rainbow Trout from Early Spring to Late Fall, and there a native and wild Rainbow Trout 2-3 miles into the trail. This trail is 5 miles to the end which has a very nice 50-60 foot waterfall, there are a lot of people once it starts getting warm, so go early if you are planning on fishing.

Practice Catch and Release Only, pick up trash if you see it, and respect this resource so that future generations can enjoy it!!!

Big Bear Lake is a man made Reservoir/Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains. It’s a decent sized lake at 22 miles of shoreline and 2,971  surface acres at water capacity, which sits at an elevation of about 6.750 feet . Close to home, but far away enough to feel like a vacation, fishing Big Bear is still a nice way to get away from it all. There is great Rainbow and Brown Trout Fishing in the Winter, though the Lake will start to freeze over if it gets cold enough. Also great Sunfish and Bass fishing in the Spring through Fall and  many species of Catfish in the lake from Channels to Bullhead of all varieties. In my opinion though, the best feature of Big Bear is the Carp Fishing in the flats end of the lake.

Santa Anita Creek is a great small body of water to fish for Rainbow Trout. I fish the waterfall dams along the creek they produce the most fish for me. Please remember to practice CATCH AND RELEASE ONLY!!! The creek does not get stocked ever so please release the fish so that future generations can enjoy this great resourse.

You will need a Forest Adventure Pass to park in the National Forest sections.

Practice Catch and Release Only, pick up trash if you see it, and respect this resource so that future generations can enjoy it!

Dixon Lake is a small lake located in San Diego County near the city of Escondido. You can get there by taking the 15 Freeway to El Norte Pkwy. Exit to La Honda Dr. then make a left and follow the residential road up to the lake entrance. Entrance fee last time I was there was $5 for Adults $3 for kids and you pay per pound for what you catch. You can rent Rowboats of Motorboats for like $15, but the fishing is good from the shore line. This lake has a great Largemouth Bass population and some real chunkers have been caught here, the biggest 21 pounds 11 ounces in May of 2003. The lake is stocked with a ton of Rainbows in the Winter and Channel Cats in the Summer, and the Sunfish get big (so bring your poppers).
