sorry i dont know any "covert ops" places but Corona lake is north of you, its pay to fish, $12-13 a pop, nice bass for catch and release and stocked cats for summer and trout winter, no lic. req'd. Lake Perris is east of you and has a nice bass fishery, gate fee is 4-5 bucks, lots of places to fish. Lic is req'd. great tubing lake. Very clear water most of time. Get out a Thomas Guide map to locate any not so public waters, and take your chances with the land owners....
