260, Local Flyfishing
Posted by , Tue Apr-11-00 11:39 AM
I do a fair amount of local flyfishing when I can't get out after the saltwater stuff. There is some excellent catch and release wild trout streams in areas like:<P>Piru Creek-Frenchmans Flat - this is the tailwaters of Pyramid lake that flow to Piru lake. The exit is off of I-5 past Magic Mt. "Templin Highway". You can fish dry flies here as well as nymphs. DFG stocks it on a regular basis as well as the wild trout.<P>West Fork of San Gabriel River - this is up Azuza Canyon in the Angeles Natioal Forest. Same situation. <P>Just talk to guys a the local flyshops like Fishermans Spot in San Fernando Valley or Mike Scotts in Orange. You can get some maps of all the local streams. There are many that you can get to within an hour. I usually go a few times a week after work.<P>Have fun.
