Striped Bass
While Pico Rivera isn't the first place that comes to mind for striped bass, the San Gabriel River does offer a unique, albeit limited, freshwater striper fishery. These fish likely migrate upriver from downstream reservoirs or saltwater estuaries, particularly during periods of high water flow. Your best bet for encountering striped bass is during the late winter and early spring when they are actively moving. Focus your efforts around deeper pools and areas with current breaks. Large swimbaits and crankbaits that mimic shad are often effective. Be aware that striper fishing in the San Gabriel River can be hit-or-miss, requiring patience and persistence. Check local fishing reports for recent sightings. Bank access is available at various points along the river within Pico Rivera, but be sure to check for any restricted areas.
