This photo is of a Red Ear Sunfish that I caught while Fly Fishing at Piru Lake off of the boat launch a little while back. I caught it on a size 14 Bead Head Black Stone Fly. I was fishing a little size 18 prince nymph on the dropper. I was actual fishing for bass and caught this guy, and let me tell you he fought about as hard as any Largemouth Bass I have ever caught on a Fly Rod.

A heads up to all you Fly Fisherman out there in Southern California. The Department of Fish and Game has posted on their website that they are no longer going to be stocking some of the best steams in Southern California with Trout. Here is the website to check out the list DFG. These streams incluude Piru Creek, East/West Fork San Gabriel River, And Bouquet Canyon Creek. This is a perfect example of why we need to respect the resource, it might not be there for very long. As I have said before if you are out on a stream, or anywhere for that matter; be respectful, pick up trash if you see it, and practice catch and release as much as possible.
