hey anyone know any good fishin spots around maybe 1-2 hours drive from LA????? could you please specify what is the best season to go too

thanx

What kind of fishing are you looking to do? Bass? Trout? Catfish? Panfish?

bass and maybe a little trout
panfish would be nice

Try Silverwood Lake in the Fall.

been there before... i think in spring, got skunked from shore even though we could see tons of fish under the floating weeds...should i go boating??? also by LA i meant westwood area...

Boating is a good choice. I like the eastern side arm. I think that is Cleghorn? Not really sure. I have caught cats, bass, & trout there. Also, I hear the Crappie bite can get real good sometimes, but, I don't know when cause I never tried. They say near the docks. The guys at the bait store proclaim this. Try calling the boat rental place for better info on this. I don't know the # for the boat rental place, but, I do know some others that might help you get the #. Ranger office (760) 389-2303 & Camping reservations (800) 444-7275. Hope this helps.

what did you use??? i might want to go there some time...

For trout i used 4 lb. test, a gold Kastmaster, & a Panther Martin (i think that was a bee color - yellow/black). It was also A.M. time. Go when they start stocking trout again. The 1 & only bass i caught there was on a little shad imitation (Castaic soft bait) off some point. I casted far and let it hit bottom, then worked slow w/ little finess. I used an Abu Garcia rod & Shimano reel w/ 10 lb. test for the bass. I am not a bass fisherman, though. For the cats, I used nightcrawlers dipped in some attractant & mackeral. Fished before sundown & after from shore. Cats & trout are my favorite choice for fishing. I suck at fishing for bass.

Man you have the best of all worlds within 1-2hours.

Castaic, Pyramid, Casitas, Piru and Silverwood. For the summer I would check out Silverwood. Castaic would be my first choice for sunfish, trout and Bass.

I believe I'll go fishing" HDT

what should i use??? the only time i caught anything at castaic from shore was after the plant...and silverwood wasn't too good...please tell me what to use!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Castaic would be my first choice from where you are at....otherwise Pyramid , Casitas or Piru. For whatever you're fishing for, use nightcrawlers with a light split-shot rig....you'll catch all kinds of different stuff. For lures, try 4.5 in. Lt. Oxblood Roboworms or small spinnerbaits, minnow jerkbaits.
