Anaheim Union Reservoir Fishing Guide, Orange County, California

• Overview

  You will find Anaheim Union Reservoir in Orange County, California. The bank is 354 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 8 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is a small entry by Orange County standards. Supplies mean a trip to Brea, 2.1 miles off. Placentia lies 2.2 miles off, Yorba Linda another 3.2 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Anaheim Union Reservoir

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Records collected within a few miles name green sunfish, common carp and bluegill. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. Anaheim Union Reservoir responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August near 75°F and December near 56°F on the long-run figures. The calendar barely matters here; the time of day does. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Anaheim Union Reservoir fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. A car park lies 120 yards away, so the walk in is short. There are picnic tables 140 yards away. Toilets show in mapping about 90 yards away. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Humble Reservoir is 2.5 miles off.
