  • 375 Steelhead/Rainbow Trout Resources of Orange County Santa
    Steelhead/rainbow trout resources of Orange County Santa Ana River The Santa Ana River consists of about 95 stream miles. It is formed by the confluence of Coon and Heart Bar creeks and flows southwest to enter the Pacific Ocean at Huntington Beach State Park. In its lower 24 miles, downstream from the entrance to Santa Ana Canyon, the river is channelized. Prado Dam is located at about stream mile 31, near where the river enters Santa Ana Canyon. At about stream mile 70, the river leaves the San Bernadino Mountains and becomes a wash in the low gradient area downstream. Flows in the Santa Ana River are diverted into an aqueduct at a point near the Bear Creek confluence, and used to generate hydroelectric power. In a survey report from the 1930s, DFG staff note the presence of rainbow trout in the San Bernadino Mountains portion of the Santa Ana River. The report states, “The Santa Ana is the best stream in Southern California” (DFG ca 1934a). The lower Santa Ana River and the portion in San Bernadino County were stocked in 1930-1931 and subsequent years (DFG 1936a). A 1938 issue of the DFG journal indicates that fishing is “consistently good” in the portion of the Santa Ana River in the mountains (DFG 1938). A letter regarding steelhead distribution cites Evans (1950) as reporting that the lower reaches of the Santa Ana River contained a “good” steelhead run (DFG 1997). The Santa Ana River upstream from the Bear Creek confluence was sampled in 1987 and O. mykiss was observed in two sections.
