Big Trout In Laguna Niguel Lake

More than 4,000 pounds of trout have been stocked in the past 10 days at Laguna Niguel Lake.

Most fishermen from shore have been catching trout soaking different colored Power Bait, inflated nightcrawlers and dead sticking Power Mouses, according to Rick Menodoza, co-owner of Rip 'n Lips, the company that rents fishing equipment, boats and more at the lake, 

Boats and float tubers have been catching trout not only in the flats but in the deep water, too.

"First time in years we have seen trout feeding in deep water from the big island to the dam. Fly fishermen continue to stick big numbers of trout still water nymphing with bead headed midges in 10'inches of water," he said.

Paul Hansen of Huntington Beach weighed in a 7-pound, 9 ounce trout caught on a white Trout King jig off the big island on a boat.

Daryl Boyer of Capo Beach used a white/orange Power Mouse to land a 6-pound, 8-ounce trout in Zone 2.

Jeff Berg of Lakewood caught a 6-pound, 8-ounce trout using a orange Trout King jig in Zone 3.

Rudy Falcon of Huntington Beach caught a 6lb 07oz trout soaking a pink/green 

Another 2,000 pounds of Nebraska Tailwalkers were stocked on Tuesday.
