Do Any of you guys remember Happy Jacks trout pond in Azuza on 39 just before you enter the mountains? That place has been gone for years and had been thier forever...Oh well just add it to my memories.

Yup I am from Azusa, my grandma used to take me there. I don't remember it too well(I am 28) but, I have pictures of me there doing some fishing

Yes! I remember it well. It actually was called "Happy Jack's Fish Farm" we used to stop there after a day's fishing on the San Gabriel River or Crystal Lake. My oldest son caught his first fish there (which I mounter) way back in 1978. The old man, who I guess was Jack, actually grabbed my girlfriends *** when she walked by him. I remember her saying WTH!

I remember that place. My Uncle took me and 3 of my friends there for my birthday one year and it ended up costing him a pretty penny!

I remember the place. Cool for little ones getting their first trout.


I use to use the line ( Jokingly ) " Does the sign out front say Happy Jacks Fish Farm ? " while working at Irvine Lake . People would expect a limit of trout every time they came to the lake. As we all know , some days are better than others and you will not always catch a limit of trout at any pay lake every time you go there. People who pay to fish a lake ( like Irvine, Santa Ana River, etc. ) expect to catch fish. A real lake like Irvine can be tuff at times.

I really liked using that line at times.

Thanks for bringing me back to happy times.
