California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) scientists are currently working to maintain and restore fisheries around the state, including endangered coho salmon along the coast. CDFW’s hatchery staff works year-round to help ensure healthy fisheries and ample fishing opportunities for California anglers. Our hatchery trucks continue to roll and stock fish. February is a great time to target urban, suburban and low-elevation waters for trout and bass. For a little motivation to wet a line, check out some of California’s best winter fishing destinations below.
