Wanted to share a quick report from Fisherman's Retreat, in Redlands, California (San Timeteo Canyon area). It's a private lake, that is open for fishing if you drop $16 for the entrance fee. Actually, there are three lakes, two open to anyone, and the third members-only.
Bass fishing can be excellent at times, but sadly, on this trip, it wasn't. In fact, I only had perhaps one bite over 4 hours of tossing a variety of lures. However, the trout and catfish bite was hot for many other anglers - they stock these lakes heavily! It's a nice, somewhat secluded area to fish and I'm glad to have spent the afternoon out here.
