Dear Anglers,
15 years ago, I drove through the gates of Irvine Lake and started working at the greatest Lake in Southern California. Very quickly, I realized that Irvine Lake was not a “normal” place to work. The entire staff was a Motley Crue , funny, and rich in personality. The customers were even more intriguing some good, some bad, and everything in-between. I remember thinking to myself “TOTO, we are not in Kansas anymore”.
When I started writing this farewell post, I found myself lost in the memories and overwhelmed by emotions. My farewell post quickly turned into Daniela’s memoirs at Irvine Lake. So I stopped writing and thought to myself “what do I really want to say”? And what came to mind is THANK YOU.
Thank you for the best 15 years anyone could ever have.
Thank you for the friendships that will last a lifetime, thank you for the hysterical laughs, thank you for challenging me, thank you for your kindness and support, but most of all thank you for the incredible memories.
This is Daniela AKA Vineline signing out.
God Bless you and farewell

IRVINE LAKE REPORT

1/24/16

IRVINE LAKE TOPPED BY 4-2 TROUT, 15-1 CATFISH
Irvine Lake is currently offering no-limit on trout and catfish in the main lake, with a 3-fish limit in the Lagoon. Both trout and catfish were caught by Team 57 anglers who converged on the lake for a sendoff fishing session. Lake veterans and expert anglers Mits Onizuka and Chris Hagopian topped the catches in the respective species categories with a 4-pound trout and a 15-pound catfish.
The low water conditions are allowing bass anglers to hike to less-fished areas, resulting in good numbers of 2-4 pound largemouth. Best bets for bassers are jigs and plastics. Families with children age 12 and under found fair numbers of 1-3 pound catfish in the Kids Lagoon.
Southern California anglers face the closure of this, one of their favorite fishing holes, as Irvine Lake plans to lock the gates on February 28, according to General Manager Dave Noyes. “The Irvine Company exercised its option not to renew the lease with Serrano Recreation”, said Noyes. “All land surrounding the lake was donated to Orange County by the Irvine Company, so Orange County Parks and Rec will be taking over day to day management at the end of March.”
Noyes added, “The lake itself is co-owned by the Irvine Company and Serrano Water District, and any future use of the lake for fishing or other recreational use must be agreed upon by both parties. Our tentative last day for fishing will be February 28, although it is possible that operations could continue until March 31, when the 20-year lease formally ends. Boat and RV storage operations will continue as normal.”
Outstanding catches of the week at Irvine Lake included:
Mits Onizuka of Irvine, 4-2 rainbow trout on nightcrawlers at the west shore
Chris Hagopian of Redondo Beach, 15-1 channel catfish [released] on mackerel at Rocky Point
