CA Golden Trout

[garb72]

For those of you that fish the native ca golden trout i would like to know what works and what works real well (as far as flies go)

I'm pretty sure the season is over or about to be....I fish them at least once a year, more if possible and the best pattern is a prism stimulator....Check out flies of the week...I believe 4Q 2007.

Is prism dubbing similar to ice dub?

garb,

I spent a bunch of time this last year in the Golden Trout Wilderness (GTW) and caught everything on dries. I used an elk hair caddis, a Henry's Fork caddis, royal coachman, royal wulff, adams, and adams wulff. They all caught fish. Honestly, I think the season is so short for those little guys, they'll pretty much grab anything that's presented. I even had a couple of instances where they came out of the water to grab the fly BEFORE it had even touched the water. Talk about the ultimate dry fly

Man, I'd be happy to catch anything at this point, anybody knows of some good waters around SoCal (Canoga Park)? I have only found one park (Lake Balboa) and it doesn't have a lot of fish, my problem is I only have a couple of hours on Sunday morning so I can travel far.
