Favorite Game Fish

"My favorite game fish is steelhead. In fresh water they are the most prized on the west coast. The first run is pretty much all theirs. They pretty much do whatever they want unless you use some heavy heavy tackle. I think people tend to land 1 out of every 3 steelhead they hook. They used to be called the fish of a thousand casts, but if you study the guides and learn from them you can catch alot of steelhead. They are good eating, kind of a cross between a salmon and a trout, they're a rainbow trout but after spending some time in the ocean they kinda taste in-between a salmon and a rainbow trout. They're called steelhead cause there's actually some metal in their head, cause they eat alot of crabs that have alot of natural iron in their shells. Just kidding, actually its because they live in the blue ocean and to camoflouge themselves they adapt to that blue color. When they come out of the ocean theyre like a steel blue on top."

My Favorite River
Lockwood Creek, a tributary of Piru Creek is one of the finest native trout fisheries in So. Calif. I hope you add it to your list of Calif. streams; many folks fish it and would submit comments. Check out this photo
