Fishing Spot Closes in Hemet, CA

HEMET - On a clear day, the trout are biting on Berkley PowerBait, the view beyond huge eucalyptus trees is of snow-capped mountains and crowing roosters break the silence at a fishing hole known as Angler's Little Lake.

The fishermen call each other by first name and they have their usual spots along the shore. Most haven't heard that this popular retreat is closing May 1, but Ralph Wynn Sr., who estimates he has been fishing here for 35 years, is trying to get the word out.

The 5-acre lake on Thornton Avenue west of Lake Street has been a fishing spot for decades, but its main purpose is as an agricultural-water holding pond. It supplies citrus groves in the east San Jacinto Valley served by Lake Hemet Municipal Water District.
