Cat fish bite in the summer (year round is rumor); once again miller canyon is extremely productive. – Saw a 12 lb kitty caught on frozen chovies last week -
Silverwood is known for its stripper, anyone that debuts there size can stop by my hardware store in SB.... 36lbs>>
The spillway is known to have fish; however it is illegal to fish inside the fence. And the biggest strippers have been caught near the damn. All the fish I know of were caught on live bait, however it is illegal to fish with live bait in CA, so don’t get caught!

Correction everywhere except colorado river.
and the live bait prob is why silverwood is home to some of the biggest goldfish i have ever seen or heard of. 2 years ago i hooked and released a 21 inch goldfish in 2 feet of water with a nightcrawler. Yea a goldfish not a carp. Ever since i take time out to paddle the shallows and count them. Norm see 1-4 per trip in the reeds swiming if you know where to look.
