Green Valley Lake is a lake in California, near San Bernardino County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Green Valley Lake is a lake in San Bernardino County, California and covers about 9 acres, reaches about 16.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 250 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; change depth before changing the whole spot, then pause longer when cold water slows the bite.
Fish listed for Green Valley Lake include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.
The first bluegill pass on Green Valley Lake should use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
Start the largemouth bass search on Green Valley Lake by trying to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
One direct channel catfish tactic on Green Valley Lake is to fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
While looking for common carp on Green Valley Lake, place corn or a dough bait on the bottom along a shallow flat.
Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; keep line light around small clear-water fish.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; work the best shade during bright hours, then follow bait before changing areas.
Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again; begin near moving water, then move only after checking the nearby drop.
A medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; fish where rock meets mud, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
Record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; search one cove before changing areas, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
