If you're looking for some fun panfishing action near San Gabriel, bluegill are a great option, and you don't have to travel far. Legg Lake and Whittier Narrows Recreation Area are your best bets. These urban fisheries offer easy access and a good population of bluegill. The key to success is finding areas with submerged vegetation or structure where the bluegill congregate. Spring and summer are the most productive times, as the bluegill are actively spawning and feeding. Use light tackle, such as a small hook and bobber, with live bait like worms or crickets. Small jigs and artificial flies can also be effective. A local tip is to fish near the edges of the tules in Legg Lake – the bluegill love to hide in the cover.
