      I grew up in Downey right in the middle of Azusa Canyon and The Beach the half way mark on the San Gabriel River...it's just a river bed in Downey.
      There are great places to swim in the San Gabriel River and cliff jumping too!
      If you like fishing I suggest Huntington Beach pier...catch your own sardines and throw them under the pier! That's where most of the fish are.✌️

    Hi David...back in the 70s thru the 90s we used to catch really beautiful Native Rainbow trout...the Native are not big but have profound colors and definition. A 5 inch male would already have a very profound lower hooked jaw ... Amazing fish...if you come across any please release them.... they'd appreciate it.

    • @davidfeiler1279

      All sections of the river require a substantial hike to get there. Your best bet is to do the "bridge to nowhere" hike that starts at Heaton Flats. But be careful as the water levels can get quite high and fast depending on the time of year.
