Unfortunately, I don't have anything to add on the Carneros Monster Mystery. But I'd love to solicit your help. I'm a very rusty fisherman (fished a lot as a kid), and I'd like to teach my almost three year old son. We live very close to Lake Los Carneros. I'd greatly appreciate some experienced advice:

What kind of fish usually caught in this lake?

What kind of bait/lure/tackle would be a good choice for fishing with a child? Size and edibility of the fish aren't important at this point--just the higher probability of catching something.

Where are good spots to fish from the shore with a kiddo?

If you like you can email me directly at cbprater@home.com

Thanks in advance for any advice!
