For those who are wondering which 4 LA County lakes/ponds are being stocked. Here are the 4.

1. Downey Wilderness

2. Alondra park lake

3. Cerritos park lake

4. Castaic lake

Rumor has it that the stock may be delayed due to the heat. Let's hope it's cool enough Friday so we can have a shot at some trout.

The Truck never shows up on a weekend. So it's either Thurs or Friday or forget it!!!!

They have not been biting for a couple of days, only the snaggers were having success.

Went to cerritos Friday and caught 3 on mini jigs. Is there still fish in there?

i was fishing for bass at alondra and caught a trout was nice size for a stocker fish

Saw the truck again. Dropped off a couple hundred more fish today. Haven't heard of anyone having any luck since I saw him a couple of weeks ago. Water temp is 56, so they shouldn't have any trouble biting after they settle.

thanks for the heads up Danny.

Anyone know how late you can fish at that small lake?

Thx

Dont mention it. I believe it's 5-6 but I'm pretty sure you can park in the neighborhood and sneak in after the park is closed if twilight fishing is your thing. Good luck

[rickenrocker]

thanks! did you see that they stocked both ponds or just one(which one)?

[georatm2011]

Cerritos, La Mirada and Wilderness should be popping of they got stocked yesterday.

Report to wilderness downey today after work, from 6pm to 8pm - got skunked! I was using powerbait, jigs and inline spinners, etc.

I did see the trail on the grass where the truck pulled into to stock the lake.

Anyone has any luck on that lake and what best to use?

Thanks
Ric

Edit: Just saw your post about the trail marks the truck left behind, haha.

So, yes, It was the south Lake. Sorry to hear that you got skunked. The Fish are still in shock and will take a week or so I'm guessing to start biting.

Sorry, I have not caught trout there before. I've only caught one trout my entire life and it was on accident while bass fishing at legg lake at night, haha!
