I haven't been there recently. The last time I went there was about 2 years ago, and it was infested with chubs - the more upstream the worse it was.
I do know that the DWR recently planted 20,000 fingerling trout there: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?s...7226030569
However, it will be awhile obviously until they grow. But with so many chubs that have infested the river, I wonder how well those stocked trout will do. However, you would think that a few big monster trout might be in there since there are so many chubs to eat. [laugh]
If you go, give us a report on the conditions, and if you actually do catch any trout. I used to fish Lower Fish Creek frequently, and I am absolutely sickened by the chub infestations that have taken over in the past 5 years or so. Personally, I won't go again unless I hear that the chub problem has dramatically decreased, and I doubt that will happen without a poisoning of the river - although I am no biologist so (hopefully) I am wrong and it can recover.
