Park hours: 6:00 A.M. – 7:00 P.M. 7:30* beg. 4/1(Open seven days a week)Dock closes: 6:30 P.M. (7:00*)Last Plant: 1,500 lbs. of Rainbow Trout Wednesday Mar. 28th.
Next Plant: 1,500 lbs. of Rainbow Trout Friday Apr. 20th.
Water temperature: At surface 59.18 f., 7.28 D.O. @ 10’ 59.54 f., 6.95 D.O.
Water level: Low level, private water craft are currently banned.
Due to the threat of Quagga mussels, there remains a ban on private water craft and equipment. Restricted equipment includes; private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.
Permits and Boat Rentals are issued by a machine located at the Ranger Station. The machine takes cash (no $50 or $100 bills), debit, or credit. Please take note; we do not sell fishing licenses, bait, or tackle, so anglers must acquire these essentials elsewhere prior to their visit. The lake is offering $20 all day motor boats to seniors on Tuesday and Thursdays and to active military every Saturday.
The trout bite has been outstanding with limits being recorded in Boat Dock Cove and elsewhere. The trout appear to be migrating westward into deeper water in response to the warming weather. They have been hitting salmon eggs, mouse tails, and inflated night-crawlers.
The Bass have moved up into the shallows. Richard Fridell of Escondido seems determined to win the contest this month catching and releasing an 8.30# bass using a swimbait at bass point, his third big bass of the month. The bass respond well to crawdads, frogs, and dark colored plastics.
The Crappie remain elusive. The presence of the bass in the shallows might be contributing to the crappies reluctance to move in. With the warming water temperatures, the emergence of these pan-fish should occur any day now.
Each month Whopper Contest winners in four categories are awarded a free fishing and boating permit. For information on the contest or fishing conditions, please contact the Ranger Station at (760) 839-4346.
