List of lakes to tube

my son-in-law and i are getting into float tubing had a blast at Perris on Sunday.

anyways we were looking for Lakes to Tube that are close to riverside and were fairly cheep to get into like Perris Lake.

thanks in advance.

Perris is best bet for close n cheap. Theres corona but its a trout pay lake an hoggies by sd. Im sure theres more jus cant think of em now.

yeah we figured corona would cost use 20 bucks each and a tube launch fee.

have you ever heard of lake fulmor?

Maybe I am wrong but what about Elsinor Lake is the a few to launch there. It is large and I know it is tubable.

it was a thought but i have heard that lake is real dirty.

Gregory, Big Bear, Silverwood, Jenk's...

i just saw that on the list of lakes on the fishing network web site.

have you fished any of those lakes? how was it? does it get windy?

Forgot bout elsinor lake that place would be awesome...... Dont bother with filmore water stinks an really small an croweded. Big bear is a lil costly to launch ur tube but nice to fish an jenks is gunna be a secret spot here pretty soon.

Jenks is one that would like to try some day, but I would not mind trying Elsinor just once, I want to catch a Wiper

fishslayer got it on the head. Most calmed water would be Jenks, followed by Gregory, due to the canopy of trees surround the entire water. Silverwood, Big Bear, Perris, and Elsinore are wide open, and a nice breeze will make you work like you wouldn't believe.

At this point in time, Gregory is best, since tubing just opened up. $7 launch fee from the marina/boat launch. Make sure to call first to ensure someone is there to verify your launch. The launch starts around 8am I believe. I normally launch around 9am. By 1PM, you should be able to catch yourself quite a bit of panfish, trouts, and occasional huge catfish.

Jenks is $10 for parking. Launch at the flat dirt spots, and go nuts. Suggestion would be comfy waders. Bacteria level is low after all the snow melt, but if your immune system is weak due to a previous cold, allergies like me, or just a small infection, you'll be a nice immuno-suppressive attack from the bacteria remaining in the water. Jenks is great for all the isolate fish that have a chance to really grow in the past months.

good to know. i have experience the breeze at perris and unless you have a good set of fins it sucks. that is what my son-in-law found out. do you happen to know when the breeze starts to die down at perris. i always left around 4 to 5 so i wasn't sure when the wind died down.

Here you go......

to pin point the wind conditions and windows of opportunities in the valley, if you can provide me such info, I'll be the data center for all of you guys. Living in the I.E. for the past 20+ years, I have yet to find such predictive data. However, I do know a few things which provide you some insights:

Best time to tackle the water without moderate to heavy wind hitting you would be between 4am to 9am. Light wind will be around 8:30am. 9am to 4pm will generate odd wind gusts due to hot/cold fronts' influences. Once the temperature stabilized during the day, or after sundown, the wind gusts will also level out to calm or very light breezes. I noticed around 8 to 9pm, the wind tend to level out to very light breezes.
