Bluegill
Looking for some sunny California bluegill action? Canyon Lake is your spot! This private lake in Riverside County is renowned for its healthy bluegill population. The lake's relatively shallow, weedy areas provide ideal habitat, leading to some surprisingly large 'gills. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the fish move into the shallows to spawn. Try fishing around docks, submerged brush, and weed edges with small jigs tipped with mealworms or crickets. Access to Canyon Lake is restricted to residents and their guests, so you'll need to know someone or rent a property within the community to fish here. Be sure to check the local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can differ from statewide rules. The bluegill here can be quite wary, so using light line (2-4 lb test) is recommended.
