GREEN SUNFISH TAKE OVER

By Sean Fenner, August 1, 2009 5:00 pm

I was up in Fullerton the other day and wanted to do alittle fishing so I stopped into Craig Regional Park to see if I could get a couple of bites. Doesn’t look like the lake has changed much since the last time I was there. Started off trying for a Carp, got a couple of bites but I was too anxious and popped the fly out both times on the set. I fished for about an hour or so and pulled in about 50 Green Sunfish on a hopper dropper system. The greenies must be taking over, I didn’t even see one Bluegill or Bass. Green Sunfish are know to choke out other species, they are more hardy breaders then Bluegill and eat alot of Bass fry. Usually the Green Sunfish in Southern California Lakes tend to be stunted, but these were some of the biggest Greenies that I have caught. All in all I was just glad to get some time in on the water!

"FLY FISHER AND PHOTOGRAPHER"

By Sean Fenner, April 18, 2009 5:05 am

Recently I was sent a few great photos from one of our blog followers Dave Gollihugh. After seeing these photos, I am struggling to figure out if Dave is a better Fly Fisherman or a Photographer. Keep up the great work Dave, and if any of you guys out there want to send me photos to post on blog I would be more than willing!

ARROYO SECO TRAIL RUN

By Sean Fenner, March 8, 2009 5:17 am

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.

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.

FISH OF THE WEEK

By Sean Fenner, February 18, 2009 4:15 am

This is a photo of a little Native Rainbow that I pulled out of Arroyo Seco Canyon Creek. This is a great place to fish they have a great mix of Stocked, Wild, and Native Rainbows on this Creek, and if you go the week the DFG stocks you can catch Rainbows form the start of the creek to as far back as you are willing to hike. The one downfall is that this place is crawling with people during the Spring and Summer.

TROUT FISHING NEXT TO JLP

By Sean Fenner, January 18, 2009 4:05 am

On my quest to catch native and/or wild trout on all of the streams in the Angeles National Forest I was led to the Arroyo Seco Canyon. It can be reached by taking the 210 freeway to Windsor/Arroyo Canyon Dr. follow the street north. There will be a parking lot on the left hand side, and the trail head will be to the right. The California Department of Fish and Game stocks here down by the first and second bridge. Though I don’t think that this Creek has gotten one stock yet this season. We did not see any fish until about 2.5 miles back and I caught a couple of Natives out of the Dam areas. In one hole I caught 3 small bows, and within 10 minuted there were people throwing rock and running into the water. Please if you hike this trail DO NOT THROW ANYTHING INTO THE WATER OR PLAY FETCH WITH YOUR DOG ON THE STREAM!!! All in all a decent sized stream and a nice little hike. The fishing is probably really good after DFG stocks the water a few times. Remember Catch and Release native and wild fish, and if you take stocked fish only take what you are going to eat. Remember to take out any trash that you bring in.
