Lake Cuyamaca Fishing for a 6 year old

If you are ever in east county and want to put her on some ditch vermin (green sunfish), hit me up any time. If there is an area they feed the ducks, bread ball packed hard on the hair rig, IMO.... Don't know much about that lake, didn't fish it much ever even back in the day...

 

Floating night crawler half try one rod just crawler and other crawler combo with fluorescent green or pink power bait ball on a 1 to 1.5 foot 4lb or 6lb seagar red label flouro leader. Lone pine side.

 

Yep, for Trout! Pinch the crawler in half and inflate the solid end with a syringe. The lady where you buy permits is usually up on the latest best rig. Bundle up! The wind will chill to the bone!

 

Do 6 years old need a permit? =^..^=

 

I dont think 6 would need it as long as you are with a paying adult. I believe they are supposed to share a limit though.

I would just stick with flylinned half night crawlers or small split shot and inflated. Get on to the pier at chambers park and youll be on fish pretty quick but there isnt much room. The T dock by the shop would be good too. Last time I was there the water was pretty high so a lot of the shore was shallow and had a lot of submerged bushes which can be make casting/managing line with a small one pretty hard.

And yes, the weather up there an be very different than in San Diego so be ready for the wind/cold. Bring gloves for the little one if you are planning on going early.
