Late Catching Report
With all the murky and dirty water I decided to try a new place to fish with my 5 year old son and father in law (12/31/10). I don't plan to post any future reports on this place (since it's not kayak related and it's just trout), but really just wanted to inform some parents of a family friendly place to fish. It may be too far for the OC and San Diego peeps.
We arrived at Jess Ranch Lakes (www.jessranchlakesnews.com) at 7am to very cold weather. We caught our limit by 10:30am with our the biggest trout being a 3lber. The fish were caught using the usual bait and wait offerings. The water is quite clear and the fishing/catching is great. Jess Ranch is a hatchery so they stock the lakes with trout every week - all year long. The staff is pleasant and even though it was crowded the day we went, I hear it doesn't get too much pressure. There are some quirks about the lake so if you plan to go read the regulations. Like I said above, I think it's a nice place to take the family or have your kid practice jig fishing. * If the report is not appropriate please feel free to delete. |

Thanks for posting and showing the shot of the fillet. The meat from most stocker trout is white and not tastey if you know what trout is supposed to taste like. That fillet looks pretty good. was it? Mike

Post away Roby. This is a site for fishermen. They like fish. Your son must have been a HERO that day. Could imagine his smiles. Way to go.

I appreciate the report kayak or not. I need all the friendly lakes I can get. My dad is 95 and uses a walker. I'm going to take him to the santa anna river lakes this week. But, that lake looks easier to access for him.

I live down the street from the ranch,The Bass fishing is off the hook in the spring and summer. Also it's a place I take my kids when the bluegill are out, They can be up to a pound. Also they have a no skunk policy which you can get a fish from the hatchery if you're having that kind of day. Also you can catch and release (ALL) but trout. If you get a big Catfish your can trade it for free passes. Been fishing their since 95
