I fished Lake Lake yesterday for the first time since October. When I fished it in October that was the my first time in about 10 years. I used to fish all the time when I was in high school once that was done I went to college in Pomona and fished Puddingstone about 3 times a week. Puddingstone is great this of year by the way. The lake spawns than earlier than most and the fishing ussually really starts to pick up around the end of Feburary. There are some really nice bass in that lake too. There are also a lot of talented bass fishman combing the shores everyday so the fish can get weary.

Ok back to Legg lake. The post below which mentions the differences in the lakes is very true. I wasn't dissapointed for home coming back in October I fished it during the last hour of sun light. I fished the South Lake(big lake) and the first fish I hooked was a monstor which I observed feeding in shallow water. I cast my plastic worm and the fish couldn't resist. I got popped off quick. That's what I get for using 4lb well he swam straight for a branch. Anyways with in a couple minutes I was back business and I went on to catch and release about a 2lb fish. I got bit once more after that but couldn't get him to stick. A couple days later it got cold and it's been that way until now. I fished the last hour of light on Sunday. First cast with a swim resulted in a boil leading to a hook up but the fish fell off near shore and that was it. I came across about 5 other fisherman as I made my way through the spots. They were all bass fisherman who knew how to fish. It's amazing the talant that comes to these lakes.

I can tell that Peck Road can be good too but most of the lake is closed and there is no access to the closed areas. I would have to say that Santa Fe Dam is probably worst for producing quality. If you want to fish a lake in a LA that can put Barrett to shame. Try the Quaries accross FWY from Santa Fe Dam. Just be careful. The loose gravel is dangerous and if the Sherrif runs security. I used to go when I was a teenager. I wouldn't do it now but I have some good memories and great stories from those lakes.
