Dude! That lake is small but has some toads in it. I live a block away and go there all the time. You can't really fish the tulles right now, cause the water is so low, but the docks by the park are consistent for sure. Throw the 9" Punker or any big trout bait, and you will be all right. I have caught probably about 10 fish this year 6lbs plus on the trout plugs. SSSHHHHH! You do mean Atascadero right?

well considering all your posts about different lakes... The best advice I can give you is to go out and fish them. That's the best way you'll learn. You might get some advice here, but practice is the key.. I've never been to any that you have mentioned, so I don't have any info for you. Hopefully someone does tho.. Good luck!

I walked around that pond a month or so ago to see if it was worth fishing from the bank. While it does look "fishy", the tullies are so dense that I could only find maybe two spots that you could actually cast out from.

A float tube would probably work pretty well, but its about a half mile hike from the parking area on Arastradero road. Might be kind of difficult to haul one that distance.

I decided it was a pass and I've gone to the Campbell Perc Ponds instead, for a quick bank fishing fix.
