This is a photo of a Green Sunfish that I pulled out of the San Gabriel River Bed at Whittier Narrows. This is a great place to go Fly Fishing in the Late Spring through Early Fall. I have seen everything from Bass, Carp, Sunfish, and Tilapia in the river bed, and the Sunfish are loads of fun on a light fly rod.

   (Daren P) Green Sunfish are in the Same family (Centrarchidae)as Bass, and they have that distinct larger mouth (similar to a large mouth bass). They fight super hard for small fish, and are beautiful fish.
