high desert - kzilla02 - 02-10-2004
[
] The big word is that Silverwood lake is going to reopen in march , so get ready to bust out the float tubes because the fishing should be killer . The only other thing to report is the local private lakes : Jess Ranch has been my get away since Silverwood has closed , they stock every fri and are open fri thru sun with their own hatchery on the property . There are two lakes to fish in , and they are stocked with trout and catfish . There are bass , bluegill and crapie in both lakes . It is 10 dollars for a five fish limit and you are garunteed one fish per angler . They also have a bass lake , it is for float tubes by reservations only , it is 20 dollars a person for 4 hours with four people minimum . I have been going regularly and catching my limit of trout every weekend with an average of 2 to 3 lbs . They have a great breeding program for catfish also and I have seen catfish caught that weigh 16 lbs on trout guts . There is no fishing liscense required . I am not sure how many pounds of fish are planted every week but I know that they plant fish up to 6 lbs . The lakes are in Apple Valley . Take the I15 north to bear valley road and exit right , All the way to apple valley road and turn right .The lakes are 2 miles down on the right side of the road .

hi kyle i used to live in apple valley might be moving back this up coming fall anywho heres a couple more places close by you might want to try though they will probably be slow until early spring first in victor vallay community collage there is a pond on campus that has some NICE lm bass had best luck on plastic worms second is mojave narrows rent one of there row boats row out to the island and flip nightcrawlers in the reeds and hold on tight there are big bass and catfish hiding in there use at least ( at least ) a 17# fishing line don't use those wimpy bait holder hooks they will break them use a very small split shot on top of the hook to help it sink good luck with your fishing

HEY KZILLA!!!!
How the *&$! are you? I saw Chuck this weekend and was asking how you were doing, long time no chat.
Glad to see your reports again! We count on you for the high desert update!
I'm heading out to Vegas for the Shot Show Thursday and will be passing by your way on the way back. Maybe we can round up Chuck and hit the water?
Give me the word when Silverwood opens I am a definite! Those fish have not been fished for months and should be nice and FAT!!!
