27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Owen's river, Hot creek, and look at every forest service map of SoCal you can and pick some high country lakes to hit. Every forests down there has some that are pretty good trout fishing. I would'nt rule out the coastal mountains or either slope of the sierras.
