Yucaipa continues to receive weekly trout stockings from SBParks, along with multiple plants from CDFW in December. The CDFW fish have been on the smaller side overall, but SBParks has been stocking some giants. A pair of big trout, one over 10 pounds and another around 8, were pulled out within the last week. Bright-colored mini jigs have been doing best for the bigger fish, while PowerBait remains the go-to for consistent action.

On recent rainy days, some anglers are also finding a good bite on small flashy spinners and spoons. Smaller bass are hitting these lures as well.

Park stockings will continue through the cold season and into late March (look for a double stock on Jan 29).
