ARROYO SECO TRAIL RUN
By Sean Fenner, March 8, 2009
My younger brother Steven and I decided to go trail run Arroyo Seco Canyon Creek. It was a great blue bird sky day, and it did not take long for me to start bumming that I was not on the Creek to Fly Fish for some Bows. We Ran up to the Nino Campground Area and back, and we must have seen a good 50 Rainbow Trout throughout the Creek. Alot of the holes that we passed had at least 5 or so Rainbows holding in them. We also had seen alot of Bait Fisherman with a couple of fish caught each. It looks like I am going to be coming back in the next couple of weeks to hook into a couple of fish. I did however take some pics of the trail.
The Arroyo Seco Canyon tight rope squirrel
There was a bait fisherman standing over the pool by
Teddy’s Outpost with a stringer of 2 about 10″ bows.
I counted 15+ in this Hole. All about 10″-12″ Stocked bows.
Taking a quick breather.
Nice Shot of the creek just below Nino Campground.
This hole always has Wild Trout I counted 6.
SCIENTIFIC ANGLERS AIR CEL FLY LINE
By Sean Fenner, March 6, 2009
One of the best tips that I ever got from another Fly Fisherman, was to tie on a Double Taper fly line when fishing in the San Gabriel Mountains. I have to say that this one tip has made the most difference for me as far as casting ability, and getting to the spots where I could catch more fish. My Fly Casting has alot to be desired, and I was having some real trouble Roll Casting with my Weight Forward line out on the streams. As most Southern California Fly Fishermen know, there is not always alot of room to back cast out on the San Gabriel Waters. The First time that I put on a Double Taper fly line my roll casting was dramatically improved. So if you want to get in those tight spots to catch more fish, but your having trouble with your roll cast get a Double Taper line and help your learning curve. I recommend Scientific Anglers Air Cell DT Fly Line. It’s inexpensive, but still works great check it out at Bass Pro Shop.

FLY OF THE WEEK
By Sean Fenner, March 4, 2009
In light of Spring being just around the corner, I have to make my fly of the week this week the Wilson’s Bass Bully. This is an absolute deadly fly for Largmouth Bass. I know a hand full of brownliner’s (including myself at times) who live and die by this fly. I have personally seen and felt a couple of Bass go after this fly, and it gets them bad. I let it sink to the bottom, one long strip to bring it up in the water column, and let it sink right back to the bottom. The majority of the bites come on the sinking pause. Try it out, and you might just have yourself a great day. Pick a couple up at your local Orvis store.
FISH OF THE WEEK
By Sean Fenner, March 4, 2009
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.
