Most of the anglers who beat the heat got out on the lakes early and
caught limits. Best bite is before 10am and after 1pm. Power bait (
especially orange, sherbet, salmon peach and rainbow), night crawlers,
jigs and lures all produced limits. Hot spots for trout include the
eastern logged shore and grassy point of lake 3 as well as the eastern
and northern shores of lake 2. Bass bite was better early with anglers
using night crawlers and senkos to catch bass up to 3 lbs. Hot spots for
bass included the wall on the southern end of lake 2 and the northern
shore of lake 3 near the pump house. Bluegill were hitting meal worms
and jigs with most weighing near one pound. Hot spots for bluegill
include the western shore of lake 2 and the northern shore of lake 3.


Catches of the Week: Wrightwood angler, Ed Herman caught his 5 lbs 8
ozs rainbow on a gold jake lure near the inlet on the the eastern shore
of lake 2. Phil Nagel of Las Vegas reeled in a 4 lbs 7 ozs trout using a
power mouse ( orange power bait with a chartruese power worm tail)
near the pump house of lake 3. Greg Erland of West Covina used a
night crawler to catch his 3 lbs 6 ozs rainbow on the eastern logged
shore of lake 3.
