Went to Little Lake in Hemet today. Formerly
know as Angler Lake in its glory days, which
use to be one of the best places to fish for trout in So Cal.
One bad thing about lake is price, its 22 dollars for me
to fish, and 42 for me and my son to fish. Not to bad for me
but sucks if I take my son.
What is great is you can park your car next to the water.
The lake is never that crowded, and it is one of
the most relaxing places to fish. The DFG have been
planting every two weeks with some Mt. Lassen here and
there. So the fishing has been really good. The fish bite
everything, mice tails are great, as is power bait, but
spoons are really great.
The DFG planted on Weds, so I started the morning with a
Thomas Buoyant, which was on fire. I lost my first 4 hookups
when the trout leaped into the air and pulled the hook. I then
tighten up my drag and landed some. I then decided to switch lures
and try Little Cleo.
I just bought Little Cleo, I saw it in an article as a great old school
lure. It took me awhile, I really had to work it, to finally land
a trout with it. I then put a Red Devil lure on, it was small, but it
was an original one, made of steel and had weight to it. It cast out
a long ways for the small size. It only took a minute to land a nice
leaping fighting trout.
Then called an end to the day.
