was up there off of seven oaks road a few weeks ago.theres plenty of snow and ice. didnt catch anything saw a few browns by one campground .a ways up the dirt road there was a spot holdin around 20 browns but they wernt to hungry.didnt see any bows at all. but it was a fun little hike in the snow

I fished it the first week of November. Fishig for stockers was slow. Managed to get one from the South Fork and one from the main branch. The DFG website says that they stock it through the Fall months but I believe this year they only had one stock after Labor Day.

i went up there around september every other week and always got a limit of stockers plus a few c&r browns. i havnt got a brook out of there yet but will go again when it warms up a bit to much ice on the dirt road and i dont have a 4x4

[troutfishr]

hopefully it isn't full of snow, i do not know
but if my dad goes with us he has a ford f350 4x4 so no problem but if he doesn't i guess no going because my brothers civic cant make it... hoping for the best though

and last time we went my dad seen a cougar

do you think there is a lot of bears cougars snakes right now??

[Piss on Myspace]

bears hibernate in the winter and the snakes are burrowed deep down now. Don't know about the cougars for sure tho... but i wouldn't be too worried... If you go, dont forget the post

when i went up there a couple weeks ago i was in a miata and made it a ways up the dirt/ice road

Was there last weekend and the fishing was slow. Rarely saw any fish and the river hasn't been stocked this year that I know of.

In the San Bernardino, Riverside zone, it is bone dry.We need more rain or something.

The stockers that get planted in the Santa Ana River in spring/summer get diverted to the County Park lakes in late fall/winter. There are still some holdover 'bows, once you get away from the heavily-hit roadside areas. Browns, too.
