WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Los Padres Reservoir is a water supply reservoir on the upper Carmel River in the Santa Lucia Mountains of Monterey County, California, supporting rainbow trout, brown trout, and potential steelhead access. Access requires a fishing permit from the water authority, and the reservoir's position in the ecologically sensitive Carmel River watershed means special care and regulations apply. Spot Features: Los Padres Reservoir is on the upper Carmel River in Monterey County, California, within the Los Padres National Forest. It is a water supply reservoir for the Monterey Peninsula Water Resources Agency, with regulated access for fishing permit holders. Rainbow and brown trout are targeted with standard trout techniques, steelhead (if accessible) would be catch-and-release only. Seasonality: Rainbow trout and brown trout are the primary year-round species at Los Padres Reservoir in the cool Santa Lucia Mountains, with peak fishing in spring and fall. Steelhead may enter the Carmel River watershed and potentially the reservoir during seasonal migrations. The mild Monterey County climate allows fishing nearly year-round.
