What type of baitfish or forage is there at Perris?

From what I gather there is Threadfin Shad, Silversides, Goby or Sculpin??? Also does anyone know if Perris gets any Trout plants??? If so, when was the last Trout plant?

No trout plants this year so far

Threadfin Shad, Inland Silverside, Prickly Sculpin, Shimofuri/Chameleon Goby, Bigscale Logperch are all known species within Perris that could be considered "baitfish". However, Hitch, Sacramento Blackfish, American Shad and Tule Perch all exist in Silverwood where Perris receives its water so it is possible those species could exist within Perris also.

GD, that's a smorgasbord! thanks kwin. What's your take on the striper population there at P?

Thank you Kwin. Exactly the info I was looking for. I didn't know what else to call the "baitfish" lol I'm basically trying to find out what the bass might be eating there.

the few that trickle in with the water from Silverwood grow much bigger and faster than all of the other lakes around here with stripers due to lack of competition amongst cohorts. #densitydependency

pretty cool stuff- love seeing the nice stripers occasionally caught at Perris and now they seem to be getting more prevalent in the local surf. I thought DV was going to turn into a crazy striper fishery a few years back, maybe the flatheads crushed too much bait?

DVL fished well a decade ago. Been hearing from the locals that the bite has gotten tough as of late.

I wonder what could be the culprit.

They didn't go anywhere, just got smaller and more numerous. #densitydependency
