Freshwater

Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area

This Irwindale recreation area gets regular cool-season trout plants from CDFW, drawing a steady crowd right after stocking, with catfish picking up the action through the warmer months. Bluegill and carp fill the gaps. It is a county recreation area with fees and hours — not a 24-hour reservoir.

Regulations reminder

Size limits, bag limits, seasons, and MPA rules are set by CDFW and can change in-season. Public-pier license exceptions (CCR 1.88) apply only on qualifying structures — not on the beach next to them. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with CDFW.
