For some residents, it\u2019s become a daily ritual. Just ask Toby Tomas. Most days, the 30-year-old stops by Hollenbeck Park Lake on his way home to Temple City.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Hollenbeck is a stop for me to let traffic die down.\u2026 It\u2019s just nice to unwind at the end of the day before I head home and go about my business,” he said as he tied a lure to his fishing rod.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His most proud catch? A 10-pound carp he caught a few weeks ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n When he and his friend, Cesar Alpizar, aren\u2019t fishing in Boyle Heights, they\u2019ll sometimes head to Lincoln Park Lake or Belvedere Park Lake in East L.A.<\/p>\n
