Wrong! Legg Lake is a pretty good lake to fish. If you havent caught fish from this lake you dont know what you are doing. For one, you have to be willing to go find the fish. If you stay in one spot all day, that wont cut it. I've caught bass out here many times, with one weighing over 5 pounds.

I agree that there are many hispanic people out there since it is located in South El Monte,El Monte. The park is super dirty and full of shits from dog,feather from goose and duck.It is super noisy because of the herd of goose,duck. The water is very muddy (its color actually is green). If you want to take your family getaway from stresses of the city, you somewhere else.If you want to go fishing,go somewhere else. Seriously talking,there is no fish at all in this lake. I used death bait,lures,dough bait,whatever bait that exists in the world,i used all. Been there twice,got nothing twice. Final word:Bad lake.

I don't hate Mexicans and know that California used to be Mexico, but being real, the Mexicans really trashed this place. I watched several of them just tossing trash on the ground, same as my visit to Lake Perris. The Mexicans also keep every single fish, no matter what size or legal limit. The ducks crap everywhere and make a lot of noise. I think they are mimicking the Mexicans too.

The lake does have some bluegill, bass, catfish, and carp. There are some fish, but nothing much. There is no admission charge to the park, so there are many poor people there. It is true that there are many Mexicans on the weekends and that the park is littered with trash and garbage that is thrown on the ground and in the lakes. Just don't plan on bringing your family if you are looking for a clean and safe park. Otherwise, it is okay for a free day of fishing.

First of all,Iam hispanic,and I agree with some of those comments about Mexican being dirty.There are many types of Latinos that visit the park and Iam very ashamed of how filthy these people are,they make all latinos seem like pigs.My 8 yr old son asked me why the park is so dirty,I tell him that it is the people that come to the USA from other countries,and are used to keeping their country like a trash dump,then coming here and keeping the same habits,if only these people realize that they are lucky to be in the best country in the world,they should take pride in the comunity,dont wait for the city to pick up the mess take the time to pick up a little litter if we all did this the park will be a lil cleaner,teach your children,let them know,this is for them and their children.Next time you see trash,fishing line ,or any type of litter take a few seconds and pick it up.

If you do not like the "mexicans" then don't go to a lake that is in a mexican neighborhood. The fishing is good, if you know where to fish. There are a few small lakes, and different fish in each, but each has bule gill, bass and trout.

Good Lake and have a nice outing, but the hispanic and asian people that aren't educated in the fishing and recreation regulations do mess up this lake by poaching and polluting. Lately it's been having more incidents of gang related violence and police patrolling for drug use in the park. It WAS a very nice lake but now its just the same as every other thats been invaded.

I looked in this section to find out about the fishing at Legg Lake. Unfortunately there are some idiots that insist on sharing their ignorant racial views. I don't give a damn about how stupid you are and what you think about other races. Just care about the fishing at this lake. When is the best time to fish, what kind of bait, what part of the lake to fish, etc. NOT YOUR stupid OPINION of Mexicans, Asians, Rednecks, or anybody else. Just the fishing you dork!

I have been to Legg Lake a dozen times in the past month. The park is clean. Can't say much for the fishing since I have not caught anything. There are a lot of snags in the lake, most about 20-25 feet from shore. So far I have only lost 2 lures. There are fish in the lake and you can see them jump in the early AM and late afternoon.

The lake sucks poachers of practically every ethnicity take fish of every size here. If you want to catch fish go somewhere else because fishing will suck. I mean why would anyone take fish from here people do dump sewage, chemicals ,and pollutive trash. If you do eat fish from here you will be risking some serious health issues and a big payment to the hospital you will be visiting shortly after. Furthermore, the lake is loaded with bird, dog, and even in some cases human crap. Also, for those of you who do use the park lake don't let your kids harrass the wildlife and PLEASE keep your damn kids out of the water it is extremely harmful for their health.

I go there 2-3 times a week. One long day on the weekend and 2 short trips after work. To be honest i haven't fished anywhere else yet, but i enjoy the relaxation time. so far I've caught 2 large mouth and a cat fish. Just counting anything over 13 inches. So there are fish, if you're patient and know what your doing. But I'm a beginner maybe someone with more experience will have better luck. As for the trash and dog crap, i always see a random plastic bag along the lines and people really should clean up after their dogs. Thinking I'll be checking out other places for the weekend.

It's a VERY nice place to go fishing or BBQing, or running, or bycicle riding... There IS fish in that lake... I Seen it. I seen a large fish jump splash in the water 20 feet from the shore. lots and lots of baby fished by the shore... we went there on June 28 and July 5, 2008, but WE caught nothing. Maybe it was the weather, or maybe the fish wasnt hungry, but we had no luck. One guy was lucky to catch a nice catfish using nightcrawlers, but we came home empty handed.

I go there once ot twice a week. The lake is ok, just have to watch out from dogs poo. I see people letting their dogs pees or poos any where and dont bother cleaning up afterward. I also see adult letting their kids keeps under sized bass, some are as small as 2-3 inches. I catch and releaed all my fish, water dont look so clean. These lakes can use some cleaning up. I guess is just not enugh money to go around to maintain such a big place.

Good place to spend the day. The fishing is not so good. Yes big fish do jump out of the water, but they seem to be Carp. The northern most lake has a lot of Panfish and can be caught with waxworms. I've seen some people catch large mouth bass, butI have never had luck with that. The lake gets stocked, but I do not know when the last time that it was. A new "fishing dock" is being built on the southern ost lake and should be completed soon.

I have never seen a mexican there. One time I saw a couple of other white folks littering there though. They were having a "BBQ" and appeared to be eating primarily carbs. They had 4 kinds of bread on the table, potato salad, rice, and I swear to god they were only grilling bread, no meat or fish. They also were drinking non-alcoholic beer. They were complete scoundrels. Didn't notice any Mexi-melts anywhere though. Mostly white trash, but a decent family atmosphere.
