Poway
 Lake Poway is a tiny 60 surface acre lake in the San Diego area. But don't be mistaken, this lake is known for producing quality bass up to 16 pounds.
During the winter months of late October-mid April the lake is stocked with 1200 pounds of hatchery rainbow trout, every other week. That makes for a feast to a Flordia strain largemouth bass.
Poway is open Wednesdays through Sundays, sunrise to sunset October through May. During the summer months of June-September, Lake Poway opens at 7 a.m. Wednesday through Sunday, and closes at 11:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday for night fishing; sunset Wednesdays and Sundays.
Private boats are not allowed on the lake. There are eight campsites with barbecues and picnic tables, an amphitheater, permanent restrooms, and horse corrals. There are also trails for riding and hiking. The campground is inaccessible by vehicle, so campers must walk in one mile on a moderately difficult trail.
Directions: From Interstate 15 take Rancho Bernardo Road exit, travel east 4 miles to Lake Poway Road, turn left and follow to park entrance.
For more information, call (619)448-2482 for reservations and information.

Report: Got shutout again! Nothing to report here. What I am hoping to find is a local pro who would be willing to teach me how to catch these damn Lake Poway (LP) trout. Learning to catch the bass would be nice, too. I figure I first need a good grounding in the fundamentals (what is a good reel/pole/line, setting up my rig (dep on conditions), casting and reeling in, etc). Emails/tips welcome, too! |
Tips: Renting a boat here is a waste. I've seen just as many fish (both trout and bass) caught by shore fisherman as I have by boats. |

Report: Went to Poway the other day and planned on trout fishing so all brought were some artificial trout lures because I dont like fishing bait. My friends convinced me to bring only one rod which was my trout micro. I really wanted to bring one of my bass setups but they convinced me not to, any way we went first thing in the morning and i caught three trout on mini jigs and roostertails. After the sun came out i went out on the fishin dock and i looked down in the water and see a teen sized bass just sitting on the bottom along with a couple other cruising two pounders. Boy was i mad i didnt bring my bass stuff. There were also a lot of bass chasing trout every where. There was one in hidden bay that cleared the water with a trout hanging in its mouth boy did i wish i had my swimbait stick with me. |
Tips: Never go trout fishing without a back up bass setup!!!!
