It's always slow this time of year. When the water temps get cool, so does the fishing. Also if it rains, the lakes end up pretty murky. But, if they stock trout, swim baits have worked for larger bass.

replies appreciated. I visited the lake to see its potential. And let me tell you. I know for a fact there are some PIGS in that water. Just have to be there at the right time at the right place. Its a big lake and lots of ground to cover. but all in all. everything looks like it is where it should be. they even have a dock. now that rocks. Ill post again once I catch a nice fish. Cant wait.

I go to that lake quite a few times during the summer. My biggest bass so far is a 6 1/2 pounder. I've also caught some big crappie and bluegill. Keep fishing it and you will land some nice ones.

They stopped stocking over fairly unfounded concerns that somehow trout will escape into the tiny drainage ditch to the west, survive the fairly warm waters, swim through the shallow mud puddles and plop into Santa Ana River, living long enough to destroy the beloved Santa Ana Sucker. This, while incredibly implausible, scared the department into stopping trout plants last year or so.

Indeed, but have you ever walked the banks of the Santa Ana in that area? The chance that hatchery rainbows will survive in the 5 inches of lukewarm treated waste water is slim to none, even after a few cold days of rain.
Ironically enough, Rancho Jurupa Regional Park is still being stocked. However, it has also a creek (actually, two) that drain right into the Santa Ana.
