Well Folks,
Back with my fish report on this area. Drove up from Garden Grove on Sunday morning, With a quick stop at WallyWorld (Walmart for those that don't know) to get some nightcrawlers. So back on the road through old town Azusa and into the canyon.
Started getting conserned when driving by the lower Morris reservoir, water level down to half mark. Then I got to the San Gabriel reservoir, sorry to say it looked like a open pit mine, with the river barely there. So I went further up on the East fork, were I know a couple of deeper pools are in the river, around Fellows Camp. They were shallow too. Went as far up to the end of the road past Cattle bridge, nothing deep enough to support any fishing.
So all I can say is, I did not get skunked, you have to have enough water to get your line wet to get skunked.
On a good note, I took my pan out and found a nice 2 gram nugget.
So next week I am heading out on a day boat out of Newport, see if I can get something there. I think I will leave to freshwater till sringtime when I can go camping up north again.
