Lake Hodges, CA

[Lataman]

Heading out to this lake on Saturday. Has anybody fished it lately? I know the water level is way down. Has anyone had any success?

I doubt 6 people here have heard of Hodges.  Try a local forum.

1985, only Dixon and Miramar have bigger in San Diego County.  Dixon would have had a world record but it was foul hooked. 25+ lbs.  Stocked trout make these fish possible.

Try posting on sdfish.com/forums it's a pretty active site for all things fishing around San Diego.

The 20 pound,4 ounce bass caught in Lake Hodges did not eat stocked rainbow trout from what I read,which makes it more impressive that it got that big without stocked trout as a main prey.
