Yeah, Rich, I hope they don't go downhill too much. To tell you the truth, all 3 of the lakes in the new park are somewhat overpopulated with undersized bass, so some harvest won't necessarily be a bad thing. Also, if you know some young people that you want to take bobber fishing for bluegill, these lakes rock. I've taken little kids there & they really get a kick out of it because you can catch panfish on almost every cast.
Unlike Ilsanjo, though, these lakes do have some quality fish in the 5+ lb range. I've heard guys claim they've caught them up to 9 lbs in the big, deep one near the redwoods (I think it's called Benoit). I've heard rumors of landlocked steelhead in that one but haven't hooked up with any.
The best lake for quality fish - the huge one with all the brush & timber & dingy water - isn't going to be part of the new park from what I understand.

If you enter through the gate that most of us have used through the years, you quickly come upon two lakes, one to the north & one to the south. The one to the north is a little smaller, the one to the south is bigger, with more shallow water. Then, if you went along the road that borders the east side of the southern lake & go past the redwoods, you'd soon come to another, much bigger lake. Those are the three lakes I'm thinking of.
There are two other, much smaller lakes by the river, & of course, the big, muddy lake with all the downed timber that's hawg heaven. I don't think any of those three are going to be part of the park, at least anytime soon.

Does anyone have a map with directions for the ponds? I might want to take a drive up to give them a try too. I'd be coming from SJ. Also, Can you really get your kickboat in there or is it a hassel? I made wheels for my KB so I can wheel it to the water. Is there a trail or a dirt road? Also, What are the fees for the park? Parking, Day fishing, launching a KB, etc? Is there a web site that shows the layout of the ponds? Larry Nakamura

You are correct, sir, although it's actually the east side of the south lake. Anyhow, I've marked it on the attached - I hope my doctored-up map makes sense.
Anyhow, it's a deeper, steeper-sided lake than the other two. I don't like it as well as the other ones, but, I've heard stories of bass up to 9 lbs out of there, plus those legendary landlocked steelies. In addition, I've taken my son & one of his buddies bank fishing there for bluegill. Bank access is very good in spots & it is loaded with bluegill
