17 Los Angeles-Area Lakes Stocked For Trout Fishing

Sharing is caring!

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife plans to stocked catchable trout into 17 lakes in and around Los Angeles during the coming week.

While a few other waters across Los Angeles County have been stocked already this fall, the coming flurry of trout deliveries marks your best opportunity to catch rainbow trout close to home.

The following waters are mostly within public parks across the Greater LA area, ranging from small ponds to reservoirs as large as Puddingstone Lake. If our website has additional fish-catching information about the following lakes, I’ll link the location name to those articles.

First, here are seven lakes in (or bordering) Los Angeles itself that are on the stocking schedule for the first full week of November, followed by an alphabetical listing by location for Los Angeles County waters getting trout the same week.
