Willow Beach, AZ - Info needed

I'm guessing most don't know where Beaumont is. From Temecula, I've used variations of both going over the Hoover Dam & going thru 29 Palms to get to Parker and up. In all cases, I've messed around at other places along the way. I'd probably go up Cajon Pass & over the dam if I was doing a straight shot to Willow Beach. Stripper fishing there is supposed to be extraordinary, but stories are a bit misleading. When I used to do such things, strippers were best pursued after dark just after a trout plant. Unless you really know your stuff, hire a fishing guide. It's been a decade since I fished, but I had much better luck at Silverwood, Skinner or Diamond Valley than the river. Willow beach is much, much prettier than those impoundments. We once took our boat right up to the bouyed area below the dam, than all the way down to Katherine's Landing. Good times!
