Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Los Angeles area.

First off, let's talk about the tides. For today, February 15, 2025, the tidal report shows a low tide at 4:27 AM with a height of 1.31 feet, followed by a high tide at 10:22 AM with a height of 4.81 feet. The second low tide will be at 4:47 PM with a height of 0.37 feet, and the final high tide of the day will be at 11:09 PM with a height of 4.57 feet[2].

The weather is looking pretty good, with clear skies and mild temperatures, making it an ideal day to hit the water. Sunrise is at 6:36 AM, and sunset will be at 5:37 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to cast our lines.

Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recently, there have been some excellent fish plants across various lakes and reservoirs in the Los Angeles area. For instance, Apollo Community Regional Park Lake, Elizabeth Lake, and Irvine Lake have all received 500 pounds of trout each[1].

If you're looking for some hot spots, I highly recommend checking out Lake Murray in San Diego County, which received 500 pounds of trout, and also Lake Jennings, which got a significant plant of 1500 pounds of trout[1]. Closer to LA, you might want to try Carbon Canyon Reservoir or Irvine Regional Park, both of which have seen recent trout plants.

When it comes to lures, this time of year is perfect for using artificial lures that mimic the natural bait fish are feeding on. For trout, I recommend using the Yakima Flat Fish F4 in Fire Tiger or the Megabass Vision ONETEN in Elegy Bone. These lures are great for enticing trout in the stained or dim waters of our local lakes[1].

If you prefer using bait, live or frozen bait is always a good option. Tackle Shack USA in Sylmar has a great selection of live bait, including bloodworms, lugworms, and large nightcrawlers. Their knowledgeable staff can also help you choose the right gear and bait for your specific fishing needs[3].

In summary, today looks like a fantastic day to get out and fish in and around Los Angeles. With the right lures and bait, and knowing where the fish are biting, you're set for a successful day on the water. So grab your gear, check the tides, and head out to one of our many stocked lakes and reservoirs. Tight lines, everyone
