Let’s meet at 8:00 am on Sunday at Marsh Park, which is on Rosanna Street.  Go for Blue gill and Bass.  Go North on Western Avenue, it turns into Los Feliz Blvd, a natural right turn, go to Riverside Drive and turn right, go to Fletcher Drive, turn left, go a short block to Ripple Ave, turn right, continue straight ahead on that road. Ignore the Ripple Street/Place/Avenue intersection under the Glendale Bridge and go straight.  You are on Rosanna, it curves a bit and then you are in the parking lot. 

 

See ya,

PS – anyone who wants to come let me know.  Thanks

 
Remember: Marsh Park parking lot is actually at the end of Rosanna Street. The parking lot for the park is NOT at the address listed for “Marsh Street Park”.

·  Ample parking, toilets, picnic tables, upstream and downstream access

·  Staff, waders and water to carry. (See the checklist for last year's Intro to Los Angeles River Carp Fishing.)

·   Traversing across the river a bit to ponds and riverlets or staying “on shore”, called a “concrete lip”, are choices

·   Fish are carp, large mouth bass, blue gill and bass.

·  There are holes in the river here in this area in excess of 5 feet deep.

·  The water is really, really clear, current fast in spots.


Directions:


·       North on Western Ave until it ends with a right hand turn onto Los Feliz Blvd

·       Continue on Los Feliz Blvd to Riverside Drive, turn right, downstream, toward downtown

·       Continue on Riverside Drive ~1 ½ miles to Fletcher Drive, left

·       ALERT!  On Fletcher Drive, go less than ¼ mile, approaching the river and bridge (Fletcher Drive Bridge), there is a street crossing

·       Ripple Street on the right, downstream, and Crystal on the left, upstream

·       Turn right onto Ripple Street, go ~ ¼ mile UNDER the Glendale Fwy Bridge

·       IMMEDIATELY there is a crossing of two streets, Ripple Street turns to the right and Ripple Place turns to the left and STRAIGHT AHEAD IS ROSANNA STREET

·       Continue STRAIGHT AHEAD onto Rosanna Street into the parking lot of Marsh Street Park
