We didn't do good at all over here. We only caught one catfish. But for us just to get away we had a nice time again. I was able to let my husband fish and I sat back and read a book. But there was one part of this state park that I was able to see a few young fawns. And he or she was so beautiful. I dared not to get closer for a fear of seeing the doe somewhere close. I wish the state of California would get it together we have state parks that need to be cleaned. Just dead trees everywhere that needs to be cleaned up.

Looks like they are cleaning up and maybe rebuilding the area. Quiet.

The Waterfowl Management Area located at 18110 Henry Miller Avenue, on the left, one can't miss it,…read morealthough it's blessedly unlikely that anyone will be in office to greet you, though there are portable restroom accommodations, is in my opinion, the rarest and most precious part of the wildlife refuge complex, one of the nation's true, understated, and relatively unknown treasures. Los Banos, advertises itself as "the crossroads of California". Exactly what is crossing there and from where I have yet to figure out. To my eye, it's a generally hotter than blazes agricultural area far, far to the east of Monterrey, far, far to the north of Fresno, and far enough from the Sierras to the east, and south enough of the endless wastelands of Stanislaus County, as to be somewhere out in the middle of the crossroads of nowhere. There is housing for ag workers, planters and harvesters, who sought a better life in el norte, and found what we got, and religiously send checks home to their families. One thinks that rent might be reasonable here. Follow 165 north of Los Banos only a little past (maybe a few miles) the intersection with 33 and, Henry Miller Drive comes up on your right. That being said, the waterfowl refuge is a lonely place, and a certain pathos accrues with that feeling. The area is comprised of a series of interconnected canals, and the regularity of these, the symmetry and almost manicured clean lines of the shores which indicate the involvement of humanity. The park is dedicated to the preservation of the remarkably intricate and refined habitat, the wetlands. Dawn and sunset are simply magnificent. Look hard and many species of bird life will be revealed to you. Absolutely, bring binoculars. I was particularly fortunate to be able to observe a flock or large family of egrets, and to be able to meditate on much else, within, and somewhat beyond cognition, in these turbulent times, inspired by this rare environment.

We stopped in as our boys wanted to do a little fishing on our way out of the park. Our oldest son had a fishing pole and tackle box (a gift from his grand-dad) but was unable to set it up properly. We stopped in to buy some bait and see if we could get a little help with his pole. The owners were wonderful! They completely set it up for him while explaining everything as they went along. They gave him advice on what fish were in the lake, what bait to use and where (and where not) to fish. We felt bad only buying the bait and a few snacks, as they were so very nice to us. I highly recommend anyone passing through the area, stop in and give this worthy local shop some business. (My only regret is taking so long to post this review.)

They're huge garbage barrels everywhere within a few feet of the shoreline. So no excuse. What's wrong with people?
