Hi TubeDude,

Did you ever fish Laguna Niguel Lake in Orange County, CA? The have always loved tubers and this year they are going to do their first trout plant on 11/18 and hold a special 'Tubers Only' tournament on 11/19 and 11/20. Awesome weekdays huh?

No only will only tubers be allowed on the lake during those two days but it's limited to the first 50 anglers.

As a pay-to-fish-lake, it's a pretty good operation. I can hardly wait! They've got Alpers and a couple of even hardier Utah bred fishies. Size? 44 acres but with some really good spots unaccessable by shore anglers. heh heh heh!

[cool]Hey, JR, that lake was developed after my departure from southern Cal. I fished the heck out of Irvine, and a lot of the San Diego lakes, but I have only heard bits and pieces about LN. I am impressed that hey have gone to the extent they have to encourage the flotation flotillas. Shows some class on their part.

[size 4][cool]Hey JR,[/size]

[size 4]The only good thing about LNL is that no fishing license is required. Then again Lake Irvine doesn't require one either plus the launching of a float tube is only $5.00. But you are probably right that it would be fun to be out there with a whole bunch of tubers.[/size]

Wooo guys $5.00 to launch a tube? Hope that idea doesn't come to Utah.

[size 2]Yeah these lakes charge an average of $5 to launch a tube which get's launched from the shore![crazy][/size]

[size 2] You don't even use the ramp![mad] And it's only $3 more to launch a boat![unsure][/size]

[size 2] I heard some places charge up to $10 to launch a tube![shocked][/size]

[cool]Yep. Californy is mighty proud of their fishin property...and they think everyone who lives in the state is made of money. They take a lot in, but they ain't managing it very well.

If Ahnold gets in, maybe he can "TERMINATE" the float tube launch fees. Yeah, right. Not a big enough voting base.
[signature]

I'm all for that, its not like the tube takes any space away from boat launching.

Go Ahnald Terminate them greedy folks

[cool] That brings up a good subject. Castaic lake charges $6 per vehicle to get in. Now gone up to $7. They charge $6 per tube, toon or yak. (non motorized) and $7 for electric motorized craft.(small trolling motors only) But if you can be out of there by 9:00am there are no fees.
