Lino Jubilado has been fly fishing in the Los Angeles River for over 40 years. Though most LA residents view the river as a polluted eyesore, to Lino, it’s a slice of nature’s paradise hidden within a big, bustling city. Amongst the trash and the concrete, Lino fly fishes for carp, bass and bluegill. But it’s the joy of catching carp that keeps Lino coming back to the river several times a week. Lino doesn’t usually eat the carp he catches from the LA River, but today is unusual.
No thanks. Ick
I don’t give a click for YouTube, so I’m just gonna assume this video is about something that’s bothering Eric Garcetti.
Oh sure, I used to take my dates to the LA River for picnics.
I grew up 2 blocks from Chandler Blvd. There is a wash / water-runoff canal that runs under a bridge nearby. Not sure if that’s the “LA River” or if it just feeds into it.
Why? I can buy great salmon in the markets. Stuff like that is dangerous!
Probably ranks right up there with Gas Station Sushi.
C’mon man! A nice fat salmon from the LA River should be quite the tasty meal!
“Sewer Salmon”...... Priceless.
Ya know, one of those enterprising homeless guys could make a lot of money providing a guide service for Sewer Salmon down the LA River.
Its about matching the hatch.....with a good presentation....
The only thing worse than Carp are Tilapia.
I don’t think you under stand the art of Fly Fishing...
= = = = = = = =
Just how many flies do YOU have to catch to make a decent meal?
Certainly hope you are wearing your ‘gloves’ when baiting the hook...
And while taking clients down the ol’ LA River, if the clients get a bit tired they can be pushed around in shopping carts scattered along the river.
and as my dear departed Grandma use to say.....”The time to catch suckers..is when they are running”....

You know, the only thing wrong with some of these sewer salmon is they’re cross eyed and have two sets of lips. You should see the Ghetto Groupers. They’re wild!
There you are fly fishing the LA river. You glance upstream and there is some sort of homeless mutant taking a dump in the river and then washing himself.
Bon Appetit!
Actually, I live about a block from. the LA River as it follows the freeways through LA. I could practically throw hook over the window sill.
LA riverbed, home of giant ants.
I remember when it had water in it...
