I moved to Los Angeles 5 years ago and haven't been able to fish when I've been back in the past. I got back in the yak in what feels like forever, with just my rod and one lure. I didn't really expect to catch anything with the river so shallow and it being midday. Could see some dink smallies long the banks and cast to any structure in the shade. One smallie put up a nice little fight, under 12 inches. on the way back I found a nice big downed tree in the shade and a couple casts later I had a nice little 2 ft pike dragging line. Was fun to get back out on the river, living in LA there aren't nearly as many lakes or rivers to fish.

first time out on the river in my yak kind of a sight seeing trip and fishing combined just wanted to get my feet wet so to speak. launched from vibert rd and drifted bout a quarter mile south of the bissell bridge one nice 2 lb smallie crushed my lure and put on a show. all and all not a bad day to be out on the river

hit middle bolton lake for a little fishing and getting the yak out for the first time. lots of bites caught 2 largemouth 12 in and 15 in

went to catch some of the stocked salmon but got some trout

saw this was a good spot and decided id try it
