I am racist but here are what i think, and other people in other fishing forum think about fishing in this lake.
Here in the Legg Lake,there are many Hispanic people that are trashing the park. The lake is super dirty. The park is full of dog poo on the ground. Feathers from the herd of goose and duck are everywhere. Watch out your step.
People keep throwing trash on ground. There are many trash bin around the lake but I noticed that they are not used at all.
Talking about fishing,seriously,fishing is so bad here. I used lure,death bait,swimbait..etc,whatever bait that exists on the sporting good store, I used all but nothing.
I went to the office of the lake to see if the lake is stocked by DFG or not but the answer from the officer is "you need to contact them,i do not know about that".
So in my opinion, people please stop trashing the lake.If you want to take your family to getaway from stresses, go somewhere else. If you want to go fishing for fish, go somewhere else. Legg Lake is not a good place to hang out, at least in its condition right now.
Thanks for reading.
