I grew up fishing this place, and Irvine and Peter's Canyon and the Villa Park dam and Rattlesnake and Katella and the Hole and several gravel pits/golf courses and ball road and a bunch of other places that I've forgotton or don't have a name for. But then I hit 18, and had to worry about trespassing. Got a ticket at Oso. Only trespassing ticket I ever got. But then it, like Irvine, was opened to the public for $$ and I haven't been there since...

BTW I used to think everyone caught like 50 nice bass a day and three pound crappie and 1.5 pound bluegill and giant channel cats on crankbaits and trout in the santiago river...miss those days

Maybe I'll go kayaking or tubing at OSO if it has a good winter bite, what does it cost?
