I started fishing some of the creeks that flow through the Angeles NF the other day and will be heading out there again today. I just kinda poked my head into the forest by driving just a couple miles north of Sunland and saw a few 10" ones swimming around a bridge I was by. The water level was pretty good and the little bit of exploring I did exposed to me some really nice areas. I plan on heading further up the road today to check out the Big Tujunga Dam area as well as the upper Big Tujunga Canyon. Hopefully I will have some fish to take a few pics of.

Nice photos. How was the Upper Big Tujunga Dam area?

Nice pics. We left So. Cal. in '78. Used to live on the other side of Sunland Blvd. from Tujunga Cyn. so spent a lot time in that area. Mostly wheeling and carrying on like a bunch of 20 somethings.
Your pics. actually look a lot more pristine than I remember it.

I recently moved from central CA to So Cal for school. I have researching places to fish with out alot of success. I will be going back to cen cal for the summer but I am hoping to get in like a dozen trips in the next month and a half. Where do you suggest I go and what rivers or streams/areas and flies should I use.

I lived in Sunland for several years ( Granada Hills now), and have driven over that bridge many time. It never occurred to me to try that section. I always drove up a bit further and pulled off on the picnic areas (very crowded). Do you park at a turnout, and hike down? Looks pretty steep from the road, so I never ventured down. Maybe some day I will venture out and hike for some good spots. How are the stockers? We used to catch 6-10" rainbows on powerbait. Now, after three weeks of practice, I will have to try my luck "on the fly". Do you use dry flies, or nymph, or terrestrials? I am still trying to figure what to use, and when to use it. Like I said, I have been at this for a grand total of three weeks now.

Thanks,

Right now I'm using dry flies.... I haven't gotten to fish that much this year and am still working on my cast but will be graduating to a sink tip line in a few weeks I hope.
