Some still catch fish in the San Gabriel River. But without stocking, the trout are harder to find.

The stories of trout, yes even steelhead trout that would return to the ocean to spawn, coming out of the San Gabriel River were no fish tales during the late 19th century and early 20th century. Stories persisted of anglers hiking high into the San Gabriel Mountains and catching dozens, even hundreds of fish. So many were caught that the state put a limit on the number you could catch and then turned the West Fork into a catch-and-release stream.
