Late Catching Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

roby · 01-02-2011, 10:49 PM

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.
