Quick pros and cons about Jess Ranch since it does have quirks:

Pros:

* heavily stocked with fish
* small lake setting
* fishing metal and plastic work here on a consistent basis
* "no skunk" policy - go ahead and laugh - haha
* kid friendly
* somewhat low pressure
* easy access to the two lakes
* they have varied pricing depending on what you want to do at the lake

Cons:

* they are strict on catching your limit and not releasing fish; they will actually come out on a cart and mark your wristband/ticket (I don't mind though)
* they were checking stringers and coolers when I went for anglers taking too many fish
* some have complained the fish are on the smaller side (on average they are not Irvine Lake size)
* they are only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
* it's not the Sierras
* no kayaks allowed!!!!!
