I fished Deckers last Saturday with my wife for the first time in Spring/Summer. I simply don't understand all the great fishing write ups that place gets. Its way over crowded, the fish are domesticated, and the behavior of the people fishing there was horrible.
There were about 20 people piled on top of each other "camping" at the camp site, complete with 15 BBQ's going simultaneously. On top of that there were cars parked so tightly every where the parking was scarce. This is aside from the 15 college kids bbq practically in the stream and swimming in it.
The fish are so conditioned to the people and the flies/lures that you can stand 10 feet from a 2 foot long trout holding in 3 feet of clear water and it doesn't move.
Then, the quote "fishermen" run around from hole to hole practically waiting in line like an attraction at Disney Land to fish. My wife was fishing a hole and some guy literally comes up 4 feet to her right and starts casting a fly. She asked him "what are you doing?"...he says "sorry" and moves 5 more feet away and continues to cast.
Blue Ribbon trout stream my ass....Deckers is a joke. You might as well be fishing on Speer Blvd. at rush hour.
