Crossing under Hwy 395, is the California Aqueduct.. A place of
unnatural beauty. Just after sunrise and before sunset, this place
is absolutely golden! Here walking and fishing for the canal's
ever-present Cat Fish and other types that may have gotten in are
permitted. You also have a chance to catch the famed Gold-Tipped or
Black-Bottomed Cache Fish!
Unlike the Cat Fish in the canal, these Cache Fish exist in very
special places, and require a very special kind of bait. Much like
land sharks, these small fish only live around the water, not in
it! So stay out of the canal please! For their dens, they
prefer tight dark caves dug into fairly level ground.
To be an expert hunter, you must know the diet of your prey!
Cache fish don’t like worms and are very mineral deficient
mind you, however, they're especially attracted to any kind of
small magnetic or thick iron-laden lure. Depending on which kind of
fish you see (or suspect), the lure will might have to be different
to get their attention! If it's a fat one, you may have trouble
getting it out of the cave if your hands aren't nimble!
If you didn't bring your own pole to catch these guys, I have
provided a specially engineered one nearby. Others may be laying
about.. Please be careful when rehiding it that it's not lost or
visible any more than how you found it.
Once you catch one of these little goody goodies, be sure to log
online with your find which kind of fish it was that you pulled
out! These fish are only permitted for catch and release so be sure
to put them back right where you find them! (They aren't very tasty
anyways!) Don’t be seen hauling these fish around for too
long as there may be poachers about! If you don’t want any
problems with them taking the cache fish, I suggest you do your
fishing quickly! Good luck, and GO cache some FISH!

P.S. You MUST sign the fishing log on site or the game warden
will have to confiscate your catch!
P.S.S. Stop on the way out at the wooden post with the metal
thingy attached to it.. Remove cap. Check your air
pressure.. ;) Huh?!!!!
