Rainbow Trout are the most common Trout found in Southern California. Wild bows can be caught in many So Cal mountain streams in almost every National Park that can be named. Yesterday I was talking to guy that claims to “know someone who you can show a picture of any Trout caught in Southern Cali, and he will be able to tell you what stream it was pulled out of”. So I got to thinking. Does this really work? Well, lets find out. The first person to name the waterway that this Rainbow Trout came out of will win one of our “soon to be available” UrbanFlyVentures Shirts. Let the game begin!!!
(To win you will have to comment on this post directly and the winner will be chosen by the earliest time the correct response is submitted, only one response per person!)

West Fork San Gabriel River
Santa Anita Creek!
I’ll bite, San Gabriel river…?
Just noticed I ended up with the same reel on my Eagle Claw as you. Okuma right? Do you run 4 or 5wt?
Yep. Same reel, but I actually run a 3 weight double taper on it. The rod tip has a really slow action and doesn’t handle heavy line very well. I’ve tried 3-5 WF and DT on the every model from the 6′ 5″ to the 8″, and 3 DT stood out the best to me.
Keep the quesses coming!
