Lake Pardee is set to open on Valentine’s Day weekend, but like other East Bay MUD-managed waters, boats won’t be allowed due to golden mussel regulations. That means it’s strictly bank fishing for now. Typically, the lake gets a heavy trout plant ahead of the opener, however, there’s no official word yet on when or whether they'll be stocking. For now, it’s a wait-and-see situation, but if they do stock, the first few days should offer some solid action.
