El Casco Lake, near Fisherman's Retreat
Ran across some super old pictures online of this lake, near Redlands and Perris, in San Timoteo Canyon. I've heard there is crazy good fishing there, but that it is off-limits. Does anyone have stories from fishing there before it was locked down? Good, bad?
Anyway, enjoy the pics.
El Casco
Last I heard it was filled in and is now a soccer field.
Doesn't look too dry to me...Originally Posted by castle

There are some crazy people fishing there. I had a few friends that tried fishing it back in HS and got chased out of there with a guy wielding a shotgun.
wow,, talk about some flash backs,its been 40 years since i fished there.
i remember that place before i even started school,they would hand me a bluegill set up
a box of meal worns and off i would go.as i got older advance to cat rigs.
still have some old home movies, i think late 60's or early 70's they did alot of upgrades to the camping area
became more than just a dirt lot
remember some nice cats being cought there.
good times for sure...
There is always great fishing where you're not allowed to fish
Someone caught a state record sunfish there some time ago. A Bluegill, Redear or Green Sunfish. Private membership now...camping, etc. for optional clothing nature loving people. Fish naked.

Dude, some of these google images areover 10 years old. Drive by it and check again. It is a youth center now!
Its right before fishermans retreat you can see the reeds from the road
Lol, Castle, I'm pretty sure you are thinking of another spot, the lake is still last I heard.
Did a little more digging around and found it is managed by the Riverside Land Conservancy. They've hosted parties and whatnot there, gotta get to know these people.
