Rehabilitating this 150-year-old, 14.1-acre lake in downtown Los Angeles took two years, $65 million and involved the relocation of some 2,000 fish, 90 turtles and 60 waterfowl along with extensive replanting of the lake’s famous lotus beds. All phases of the park’s makeover are due to be completed in May, which will be welcome news for the local angling population. The lake — which is open year round — will offer catch-and-release fishing for catfish and trout. There’s no news yet as to whether other fish species will be reintroduced. California residents ages 16 and up require a sport fishing license to fish the lake.

Not only is the 928-foot-long pier Manhattan Beach Pier a state historical landmark, but it’s also one of the best pier fishing locations in the South Bay. Fishing is permitted year round (with license) so anglers can bring a selection of bait and tackle and take up residence adjacent to the Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab and Aquarium at the end of the pier. With the right bait, you’ll soon be reeling in a variety of fish including Pacific mackerel, sand bass and perch. There are fish-cleaning stations and restrooms on the pier and some great eateries in town, though finding a metered parking spot can sometimes prove challenging.

Grab and bag isn’t exactly fishing, but watching the California grunion spawning along the beach line from as far north as Point Conception to Point Abreojos in Baja, California is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During the spawning season — which runs from March through September — sightseers, kids and anglers head down to the Los Angeles South Bay in the wee hours and watch as a host of silver-colored fish hurl themselves onto the beach in a spawning frenzy. Capturing these slippery little critters during the open season is a strictly “hands only” affair – no nets allowed. Check the CA Fish and Wildlife website for the spawning schedule.

If you like surf fishing, then Dockweiler State Beach at the western end of Los Angeles International Airport provides some excellent saltwater fly fishing opportunities.

Best Fishing Practices
Many anglers plan ahead and incorporate best fishing practices using tips to ensure safe and responsible angling. Thank you to www.fishsmart.org or providing the following tips:.
Plan Ahead
Know your fishing regulations and have the necessary equipment ready to release fish that you do not plan to keep.
Avoidance
Develop fishing skills to target the size and species you desire. Change location, depth, or bait to avoid catching fish you do not intend to keep.
Appropriate Gear
Use appropriately sized gear that is targeted to the species you desire to catch. Use circle hooks when planning to release fish and where they are required.
Landing Fish
Do not play the fish to exhaustion. Use line strong enough to minimize playing time. Land the fish quickly and if possible, release them while still in the water.
Handling Fish
Use knotless, rubberized landing nets and rubberized gloves to avoid removing the slime layer from the fish’s body. Keep the fish horizontal and support the body. Avoid dropping the fish, especially onto hard surfaces. Use release tools, such as dehookers and recompression tools, to minimize handling. Release fish as soon as practical and do not keep them out of the water longer than necessary.
