7,000 'Lions Of Freshwater Fish' To Swim Lake Elsinore

Largemouth Bass are known as the lion of freshwater fish, as they can be triggered to attack a fishing line with tremendous speed and ferocity.

Hold on to your fishing hats as the City of Lake Elsinore has announced the on Wednesday, April 4th, at the Seaport Boat Launch.

The exact timing of the arrival of the live-haul fish delivery truck is a little uncertain, but it’s estimated at 8:00 a.m.

The stocking includes a good mix of size classes to keep the awesome angling going for many years to come. The city will stock 700 pounds of adults to complement the existing population of catchable Largemouth Bass.

In addition, the City is stocking 1,667 juveniles running 10” to 12” in total length, as well as 5,000 fingerlings in the 4” to 6” size.

Be sure to fish Lake Elsinore this summer to land one of these beauties.

Fishing regulations for Largemouth Bass requires “keepers” to have a total length of at least 12-inches, with daily bag limit of five fish. The local bass clubs recommend practicing “Catch & Release.” Releasing smaller fish today increases the chances of catching more and larger fish tomorrow. –City of Lake Elsinore
