Hansen Dam Fishing Lake Stocks Up for Reopening
With only 19 days before the newly restored Hansen Dam Recreational Center is open to the public, 375 pounds of catfish were dumped into the fishing lake Monday.
The artificial lake and another for swimming will open Aug. 28, marking the initial phase of a 17-year project designed to restore the recreation area to its 1950s prominence among Los Angeles parks.
The lakes will be opened to the public with daylong festivities Aug. 28. The fishing lake will be stocked each month with catfish during warm weather and twice a month with trout during the cooler months, state Fish and Game officials said. Users will be required to have a state fishing license.
