Fishing Info:

    Like many of the mountain streams in SoCal, this was once a very popular fishing spot, receiving weekly plantings of rainbow trout from the DFW. Sometime during the early 21st century, the DFW halted all rainbow trout plants here in an effort to protect the endangered mountain yellow-legged frog which supposedly lives here. There are still some wild trout here. Be sure to visit the CDFW web site for complete regulations before heading out.
