Started out planning on going out to Cahuilla but got there and I guess they are closed during the week now. So decided to try a place I used to go with my dad like 20 years ago, Johnson Street canal but it looks unfishable now. I had heard you could still fish there but if so I don't know what part. So we headed out to a part of the canal by Mecca just so we could make a few casts. After eing there about 10 mins a couple of guys come up in there truck and start asking what kind of fish were in there. After chatting for a bit and telling them our trouble finding a place to fish they invited us back to a private lake in a little community in the La Quinta cove. Turned out to be a fun little lake tons of blue gill and a few bass, we just caught bluegill though. Turned out to be a pretty fun day after all. If anyone has any tips on where to fish in the desert I would appreciate itm the place has changed so much since I last lived down here. A few pics;
