They had just stocked trout a few days prior, and I hooked a couple of them but they got off. I wasn't very excited about catching recent stockers anyway, so I didn't mind that too much. I did catch two juvenile bass, and I could see several of them near the inlet. I also saw a somewhat larger one near the pier. The strange thing is that I caught no sunfish, although I tried to. That left me wondering if they had a die off last year. I did get one strike on a bead headed fly near the fishing pier which might have been a sunfish, but I didn't see the fish.
I also went to Hemet Lake last week and had good luck on decent size, colorful Bluegill, plus I lost a trout on Power Bait. The people next to me were catching Trout on Power Bait, but I tend to be lousy at that type of fishing. Oh well..... The DFW has been stocking Hemet Lake regularly, but most of the trout looked very silvery (though just DFW stocker size), like they had been acclimated to the lake for awhile.
