The put-and-take fish that makes winter fishing in the Basin possible. You are fishing a hatchery truck as much as a lake.
Urban lakes and mountain waters CDFW plants with catchable rainbows — Legg, Santa Fe Dam, Hansen, Alondra, El Dorado, Jackson, Crystal, and more.
Lakes, reservoirs, and ponds: five trout daily, ten in possession, open all year (T14 CCR §5.85) unless a water is listed in 7.50(b). Streams are a different season. CDFW provisional stocking list has included Alondra, Apollo, Belvedere, Cerritos, Echo Park, El Dorado, Hansen Dam, Hollenbeck, Jackson, Kenneth Hahn, La Mirada, Legg, Lincoln, Puddingstone, Santa Fe, and others. Always use the live Fish Planting Schedule.
