I think you guys are getting Trabuco Creek, and San Juan Creek confused. Trabuco Creek is adjacent to O'Neill Regional park. The easiest way to get there is North on El Toro Rd from the I-5 freeway, turn right (East) on Live oak canyon rd. proceed a few miles to the creek bridge crossing, this is Trabuco Creek Rd.(unpaved dirt rd.) You can only go one way, up the creek so to speak.As Fongster posted the DFG stocks trout in the creek in the Winter when the creek is flowing.I have never heard of a bass being caught in the creek although it may be possible. Now for San Juan Creek. You take the Ortega Highway exit from the I-5 freeway North. the creek is all along the Ortega highway. Lots of private property that is patrolled and posted "No Trespassing". there are however some good spots up by the park which is quite a way up from the I-5, I cannot think of the name but it is a county park. This is the park that a little girl named Laura Smalls was mauled by a mountain lion a few years back.Be careful. This part of the creek has been stocked with trout by the DFG in years past, and there is bass in the creek.I also recall the article about the body, and it was located somewhere in the San Juan Creek. Long winded, hope it helps!
