hey guys, you may also wanna try a (BWO) Blue Wing Olive. I tie one with a turkey T base flat in a light dun it also acts as an indicator for my wing and dun hackle I kill it on the east and west fork and a fly i call the fluttering caddis dubbing in the rear deer hair wing and hackle in the front, that fly is also deadly in the sierras i don't get out as much cause i don't like going solo but i have my dog now and we should be making more trips this next year tight lines

You need to improve your technique when releasing fish... the less you handle them the better. might I suggest a Kethcum Release ? It allows you to keep the fish in the water and not touch them.

[w3stc0ast187m]

what kind of flies were you'll using?

[hoshnasi]

@w3stc0ast187m Whoops! I missed this comment. I use mainly Griffith's gnat and adams.

@(hoshnasi), Nice vid! by the way I'm up there almost every weekend fly fishing and i believe that is my tapered leader bag because i use that same brand and i buy them from sport chalet. Thank you for picking it up!. Oh yea the trout platforms up the road offer great dry fly fishing . I get most of mine on california mosquitos and elk hair caddis, anyways great vid Tight Lines !

[hoshnasi]

@shadowcast95 Give me some more details on the trout platforms? What are they? How is it casting from them? Also, how much of a walk from the parking lot?

Thanks for watching!

[shadowcast95]

@hoshnasi the platforms are these concrete flats that kinda stretch out onto the river, they were designed so that handicap people can fish. the first platform its about a quarter mile from that wild trout marker sign and there is 4 of them along the river and each one of them is about a quarter mile from each other. I usually bring my road bike and fish every single one of them . oh yea if you are a good roll caster then the platforms are for you because it is complicated over head cast

[JacobNJordan]

do any of you know where a good spot for fishing is near El Monte, other than Santa Fe Dam and Legg Lake??

[hoshnasi]

@JacobNJordan pull up Google maps, look for parks with large bodies of water. They will almost certainly have fish of some kind.

[626sicksidePsycho]

@JacobNJordan try peck road park. close to the pick ur parts. Go north on peck n its on ur right hand side.

[featharachi]

[Bladerunner55217]

Awesome video man. I am just purchasing my first gear to go hiking and camping as I never been. I all ways had a dream to camp close to a stream and fish and hike . Is their any such place in southern California (San ban Bernardino mountains / big bear or San Gabriel ? Thanks for your time. I have been looking at hydration packs like black hawk and others and I am all ready bag crazy and I haven't even purchased one yet lol..

[hoshnasi]

@Bladerunner55217 My wife sometimes complains that I have more bags than she does.

[coltca]

Is this river in California if so may i pleas have the address?

[hoshnasi]

@coltca 605 North, to the 210 east, exit Azuza and go North. Stay to the left on when you hit the mountains.

Also, just Google San Gabriel fishing.

[dandotreillydot42058]

these fish are smaller than my -----

[hoshnasi]

@dandotreillydot42058 Lol,

Depends alot on time of year. Considering this is pretty far south in California getting on a trout during the summer is good no mater what :)

[featharachi]

wow. if you like fishing in so cal you should try the carp in the L.A. river.

[hoshnasi]

@featharachi Thanks for the comment!

Where do you recommend in the LA river to fish for carp? I have been interested in finding a spot to catch them.

Thanks!

[featharachi]

@hoshnasi you can try allison valley aka frogtown

for a vid " Fly-Fishing for Carp la" in youtube. search

[hoshnasi]

@featharachi I have thought about that. I don't know what gear I need though. What flies do you run and where about on the river?
