Set in Riverside County's foothill country, Lake Skinner is quite the anglers haven. No physical water contact and max boat speeds of 10mph limit the amount of recreational activity. The result is a tranquil and quiet environment perfectly suited for pursuing Lake Skinner's many fish species.

Skinner is known for its very good bass fishing, particularly striped and largemouth bass. From late spring to early fall, when the temperatures rise, the lake produces both fish bass size and catch quantity. The biggest striped bass pulled out of the lake was over 39 lb, and for largemouth, over 14 lb. So needless to say, trophy size giants lurk in these waters.

Rainbow trout are plentifully stocked in late fall and winter. So if trout is more your style, don't hesitate to throw spinners and powerbait for these stockers.

The lake is kept pristine due to its tight rules and regulations, so make sure to review them before hitting the water.
