Fly Fishing San Gabriel Mountains

  • The past two years of rainy winters has filled up our local Los Angeles mountains and brought the native trout population back with a bang! Almost every stream, creek and tributary in the San Gabriel mountains was holding fish this Spring and they were all healthy and hungry. After a particularly good day fishing on Mother's Day, I headed out with my trusty dry-dropper to document this fantastic fishing so you could see for yourself how special our local mountains are. This is some of the best small stream fishing I've ever had and it was all less than an hour from home!
    Remember to always fish barbless, practice catch-and-release and please pack out your trash (and others) if you see it. Keep our wild places wild!
    Equipment:
    Rod- Hardy Shadow 4 wt
    Reel - Orvis Battenkill
    Dry - Moorish Hopper
    Dropper - Bead head soft hackle pheasant tail

      Thanks! That snow melts and flows through those rocks and keeps the water pretty clean and clear. It's got some great blues and greens for sure.

    I loved the colors and size of the second rainbow trout. Those colors tell me that particular fish was of multi generation holdover like the ones that I caught there 36 years ago. It definitely was not a recent stocker. 🎣🌲🌲🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️
