Fly Fishing San Gabriel Mountains
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- 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

That was awesome! The water looks so pristine
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.
😂 the intro 🔥
thanks wrote it, recorded it and played it myself!
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. 🎣🌲🌲🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️
Isn’t it beautiful? I was pretty stoked!
@@HookontheFly You deserve to be stoked. 😎🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️
