Fishing near Soledad, CA

Set in Monterey County's Salinas Valley, Soledad sits on the banks of the Salinas River—the so-called 'Upside Down River' that flows south-to-north for roughly 175 miles, the longest on California's Central Coast. The river runs directly through town, while the Arroyo Seco tributary spills out of the Santa Lucia Range about 10 miles south. The wider watershed holds more than twenty fish species across mountain streams and canyon reservoirs.
