Trout season to open at Cucamonga Guasti next week
News from San Bernardino County Parks
The Veteran's Day holiday is a good time to bring out the fishing poles to San
Bernardino County Regional Parks' lakes in Ontario, San Bernardino, Chino, Yucaipa and Victorville and go casting for trout.
The first stocking begins November 10th and stockings will continue every Thursday, weather
permitting, through March 31, 2011. If a national holiday falls on a Thursday, the stocking will take place the Wednesday before the holiday. Anglers will have the ability to cast for Sierra Bow and large trout will be supplied to the lakes each month.
The trout derby season will run through March 12, 2011. Visit www.sbcounty.gov/parks for a complete list of locations and dates for each of the derbies. Fishermen will try catching the largest trout in the fastest time to compete for the $500 cash top prize. Other prizes and cash will be awarded for up to 50 top catches at each of the derbies. Derby sponsors include the Inland Empire '66'ers, Bass Pro Shops, Charter Communications,
The Sports Authority, Palm Springs Aerial Tram, Fishing Legend and more.
Vehicle entry into the park is $7 during the week and $10 on weekends and holidays.
Fishing is $7. A State fishing license is required and may be purchased at the park.
In addition to the trout derbies, Regional Parks will also be offering a series of six Junior
Fishing Workshops to children ages 5-11. Experienced fishermen will teach young children fishing fundamentals at each of the workshops including: how to use the pole, best baits, and how to string a line. Following the instruction, the children will get an opportunity to try their newly learned skills with a session of open fishing.
The first Junior Fishing Workshop will be held at Mojave Narrows Regional Park, 18000
Yates Road, Victorville, on December 11th. For a complete list of workshops and dates visit:
www.sbcounty.gov/parks . Registration for the Junior Fishing Workshops is $5 per child and a $10 vehicle entry charge at the park. All equipment is provided for each child. There is a 100 person limit for each workshop. Contact (909) 387-2461 to register or for additional information.
A junior trout derby for those children participating in the workshops will be held at
Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park, 800 N. Archibald Avenue, Ontario, on Saturday, April 2,
2011sponsored by Friends of Regional Parks (FORParks). Like the adult derby, children will fish for
prize awards.
