WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Santa Rosa Creek is a coastal California stream near Cambria in San Luis Obispo County, supporting the federally threatened Central California Coast steelhead and resident rainbow trout. Like Chorro Creek, it is one of the few remaining streams on the Central Coast where this rare steelhead DPS still spawns, making it an ecologically significant and carefully managed fishery. Spot Features: Santa Rosa Creek is a coastal California stream in San Luis Obispo County near Cambria, draining to the Pacific through a coastal lagoon. It supports Central California Coast steelhead, a federally threatened DPS of rainbow trout, alongside resident rainbow trout in the upper reaches. Standard Central California Coast stream techniques apply: drift fishing with roe and beads for steelhead, small spinners and flies for resident trout. Steelhead regulations are particularly restrictive given the threatened status. Seasonality: Steelhead are the primary seasonal target in Santa Rosa Creek, entering from the Pacific Ocean after winter rains open the coastal lagoon. The run typically builds from December through March, with fish staging in the creek through spring. Resident rainbow trout may be present year-round in the upper reaches. Check CDFW for current regulations as this stream supports Central California Coast steelhead (federally threatened).
