Hi, go here https://www.sandiego.gov/reservoirs-lakes and then you can see the days for those lakes. However, be advised that Hodges is closed on the third Wednesday of the month and they haven't updated the website.

I think all the crappie fishermen scared them off….ha ha.
Yeah, the cold water(and lack of water)and all the points and areas that were high and dry now did not help make
the fishing easier. It was strange having so many people fishing, especially in the middle of the lake, but I think it was ...

Took off to Lake Poway mostly on an exploratory mission and to get a few hours of fishing in from shore. I had not been up to Lake

Solid perch!

I do have bullets of the same alloy we traded for a few years back Wheel weight and lino type that have been in storage for over 30 years and still as bright as the day they were cast .

Passing these along, these have zero issues, can't remember if this is a Penn 704 or 706. Also have a decent spinning rod I can pair with it. The Lochmor has some fly line, probably a WF 7wt Aircel.
