Actually Lake Hemet is further from Yucaipa then Perris, Lake Perris is about 30 minutes away, while Hemet is almost one hour.

Perris does have the best Bass and panfish bite around, but if you want Trout, just up in the mountains there is Jenks Lake which is about 40 minutes up the mountain. Catfish fishing is ok at Yucaipa, but I would probably hit up Anglers Lake in Hemet for catfish. The only time I fish localy at the regional park, is for the Trout in winter.

If you have any questions email me, jasonhuckeba@socalfishing.net

Here's a picture of Jenks Lake as well.
