When did the DFW allow trout fishing in Sespe creek? I haven't fished the upper sespe for 20 yrs. due to the endangered Steelhead trout Is it legal to fish now?
Correct me if I am wrong My fishing buddy Fred Brandt and I stopped fishing S Paula, Matilija, N. Fork VTA river&Sespe creek. Due 2 DFG rules stating that tributaries that flow yr.round into SantaClara & Vta rivers ,no fishing allowed . Isn't that also why Fillmore fish Hatchery stopped stocking trout in creeks I mentioned earlier? What yr.did the DFG change regulations 4 single barbless hook? Iv'e had over 100 trout caught in 1 day in 3 of the creeks I mentioned (all catch & release ) mostly natives ! I really would love 2 fish Vta County trout streams again . I have thought 4 the last 15 plus yrs. fishing was illegal? Fill me.in if possible! Thank you
search the creeks you mentioned and you will see current regulations.. 0 trout and yes catch and release artificial and barbless. Ventura River is off limits to fishing.
