Lake Perris has 2,200 surface acres and is part of the California State Water Project. The lake is surrounded by rocky mountains that can tower to heights of greater then one thousand feet above the water's surface.

Alessandro Island makes for a popular boat in site, rising more then 225 feet to create an interesting perspective of the lake. Fishing for spotted and largemouth bass can be very good, but you have to go being aware that this is a very popular lake for other water sports and there is no real safe haven for people fishing. The fising can be very good from shore.

Directions: 11 miles south of Riverside on I-215. Take the Ramona Expressway to Lake Perris Drive. Procced to the entrance.

Report: Had a great day with Guide Pete Marino. Had a great day learning how to look for active biting fish. Pete worked really hard on putting the pattern together. Once we found the active biting fish it was game one for my cousin and brother-in-law. We caught at least 40 fish. all fish were healthy and chunky. we brought in a few 4 1/2 - 5's and the rest were all 2 - 3 1/2lbs. Pete taught me some valuable info that i will be taking back to my home waters. we fished water from 8' all the way out to 30'
Tips: If your looking or a good guide Pete Marino is worth it!
