The lake was stocked with 2,000 lbs. on December 1st, and the lake will be stocked again on December 7th, with 1,500 lbs. of Rainbow Trout. See stocking schedule for future dates. Recommended baits are natural colored mini-jigs, garlic power bait, and silver cast masters. Hot spots for the week were the Fishing Pier, Half-Moon, and Hidden Bay. 

Catfish: Catfish bite continues to be the most consistent fish to target at Lake Poway. Every week anglers fishing off both the shoreline and boats have luck. Recommended baits for targeting this fish are mackerel, chicken liver, and stink baits. Hot spots were the Fishing Pier, Buoy Line, and the Beach.

Bass: Recommended baits are night crawlers, creature jigs, and plastic worms. Hot spots for the week were Fishing Pier and Jump off Point.
