I'll ditto this info on Butano and Pescadero.
Not sure where which direction you'll be coming from, but your best bet
for
good fishing off the coast is the Garcia River for the steelhead run.


Tom,
What has happened to the San Lorenzo river the past 4-5 years?
Is it fishable still?


The San Lorenzo has been going through an on-going environmental restoration
which seems like for ages.
What was once rich in steelhead and Coho salmon has now changed. From a
local source they had a great run giant carp this past year. Not sure what
to do with giant carp other than catch and release. Yes it's still fishable,
but I've been told not to eat anything you take out of the San Lorenzo
River.

I haven't been to Felton on the outskirts of Santa Cruz for some time, but I
hooked onto an 8 pound Coho many years ago.
Would you know if Felton is still fishable?
I don't fish much locally here. I head up to the Northern California, the
McCloud, Trinity and the Eastern Sierra's.
fwiw,
