Don't know about the info on Hesperia Lake, LMB's not a very likely catch. I've heard of just rumors of LMB's being caught there. The Narrows has a decent population of LMB's but if you want to go somewhere nearby why not Silverwood?

Also Jess Ranch has a good population of LMB's.

Be advised, many of the private places are like Jess Ranch. Catch and release only for large mouth bass. Still a lot of fun. Check their web site. They are only open Fri. Sat. Sun.

Hesperia Lake is a Septic Tank now..
Never saw or heard of a LMB caught there either??
Maybe 20 yrs ago??

Mojave Narrows has them, I have seen the fry and dinks (6", Both lakes)). But again, have never seen any caught and tried many times myself. Have seen 5# ones dead on shore though??

Jess Ranch has some fair bass, all C&R..
Also JR has a float Tube Only Bass lake (extra charge of $20??), supposed to be W/O on bass (a friend used to fish it and brag about the numbers he caught)???
I Tubed it 'once' in dead of winter, Very cold water, Didnt see a fish or even get a bump.. But it was to cold for Bass at the time also... I was frozen solid in about 20 min....

Silverwood would be the best place for Bass locally (HD)....

LMB should always be C&R only...
They are not stocked!!!
Its up to us to keep the numbers up...
Only way we and future generations can have a decent day of catching them..
