My last trip up to the San Gabriel River was let’s say “interesting”! Filled with exploring little tributaries and portions of the West Fork that are extremely hard to get to. All of the work climbing over boulders, under fallen tress, and through poison oak producing some very beautiful dark colored Rainbow Trout. It was amazing to see the coloration of these fish, almost more resembling a Brown Trout. Equally astonishing was their readiness to take anything that hit the suface of the water. I specifically remember catching about 20 4-9″ fish out of just one tiny little hole. I guess a little adventuring does pay off, even if your legs are burning for a couple of days!

As advised in my previous post this little Mysis Shrimp Pattern from The Trout Spot can be deadly on Bass. I know most people don’t usually think of smaller flies to catch Bass, but you had better believe that under the right conditions this fly will get them hooked. I like to fish a Size 14 0r 16 with a size 10 or 12 as the heavier dropper to get down a little but deeper. Sometimes it takes thinking a little outside the box and tying on something a little bit different to get the fish to bite!
