Yucaipa Regional Park Fishing Report

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).

Yucaipa will continue getting weekly trout plants through the end of the month along with the other San Bernadino park lakes. Fishing has been solid all season, with healthy looking trout up to 5 pounds. White and red jigs worked slowly on the bottom, mice tails, and PowerBait are working best. Water temps are warming, and bass are starting to show, though anglers have been mostly tight-lipped about what’s working. Yucaipa holds some giants, so dragging jigs, or tossing big glide baits and swimbaits is a smart bet this time of year. Look for catfish stockings to begin in a couple months.
