The more water the better fishing-right?

Is there salmon there to be caught?

“Is there salmon there to be caught?”

Not that far south. The north end of the valley like the San Joaquin Delta has stripers and connects to the Pacific. The Kern is split at Bakersfield. Any snow runoff that comes down to the Kern or other water areas north of Grapevine comes from Mt Whitney and is around 180 miles away. Without an ocean connection there won’t be a spawn. Largemouth and smallmouth bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill are the main fish in the area.

Water that high is generally too rough and discolored for decent fishing.
