Lake Poway will be open for fishing and boating Memorial Day, May 27th, 2019. Martin Arenas from Escondido hooked a terrific 8-pound Bass this Thursday (photo). He was fishing from the shore in Hidden Bay. The bass bite is still good, but it has been slightly off, possibly because of the weather.
The last trout of the season are slowly being caught. They are getting more difficult to find but some lake regulars reeled in 4 nice Tailwalkers this Sunday.
Please release spawning bass, we do not stock bass so the only way to maintain the population is to allow them to spawn.
The next big fishing event at Lake Poway will be Catfish season and night fishing! Night Fishing will start July 5th and continue Friday and Saturday nights through August 31st. During night fishing the park will be open until 11:30 PM and boats can stay out until 11:00 PM. During night fishing half day boats start at 4:00 PM.
When you stop by concessions to buy your permit ask about the best spots and baits. They have up to the minute information. Remember concessions closes at 6:30 PM so come early enough to buy your permit or rent a boat.
