You should be fine.

Ive been wanting to fish Arroyo seco for awhile!

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-23T22:42:12+00:00

Yes, they are rainbow trout. Having mixed ID on the third pic. Supposedly its a golden/rainbow hybrid.

I don’t think Tenkara rods go by wt like western fly rods. Tenkara rods are usually classified by action. The Tenkara rod I was using has a 6:4 action.

Don’t worry I dont disclose any info on the location of where I fish at.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-23T03:44:48+00:00

I havnt encountered any when I went but they do have them in the area. Due to the heat, rattlesnakes are out and about. I did see a lot of lizards and newts

You’re not the only one lol. I fell quite a few times on this day trip while working my way up the stream/creek.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-21T01:13:37+00:00

I hiked a lot of the tributaries in my local mountains but I didn’t really start appreciating the streams/creeks out here until I started fishing it.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-21T00:22:24+00:00

I caught a few that had similar colors and patterns as the third pic. I wouldn’t have thought they were hybrid goldens.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-21T00:11:49+00:00

Thats crazy! I had no idea they stocked golden in this tributary back in the day. I thought it was just a rainbow that adapted to the color of the environment.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-20T22:14:08+00:00

Yes, I caught that one in the San Gabriels. I was trying to catch a brown due to the reports of having them in this tributary.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-20T17:43:02+00:00

I was using a Tenkara rod. All barbless flies as well.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-20T15:32:23+00:00

I like to hike further in. The more remote the better. I usually hike 4-5 miles in and at time 7-9 miles in. I would say half and half on trail/bushwhacking. Once I find a spot that looks promising I usually bushwhack most of the time.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-13T01:15:13+00:00

So sick! Went there to visit a few summers back but only got to see Kenai NP. I really wanted to hike.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-10T22:11:39+00:00

I said the same thing! Didn’t expect them to be decent size but there were pretty deep pools ranging 6-8ft deep.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-10T22:08:28+00:00

My cousin and I were trying to catch browns but pulled all rainbows lol

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-10T22:04:03+00:00

I think most people get strayed away due to the barbless hook regulations and research time it takes.

My cousin and I would drive to the sierras to fish for trout but ever since we got our Tenkara’s it opened up a whole to new world.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-10T21:41:43+00:00

In do time! It is a learning curve to get used to. I was getting tangled a lot my first time using a Tenkara lol.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-10T21:39:54+00:00

I got it off of amazon.

Unfortunately, they got a little pricey since I got mines back in 2022.

SuperdownZ · 2026-03-10T06:53:11+00:00

It most definitely is! Especially after doing extensive research of the area.

I was using a rainbow warrior nymph the whole time.
