I did mean USA and more specific southern California. I know there is salmon

practiced in fly fishing, the first few times I didn't want to travel far.

Because of the endangered status of steelhead in southern California, it
is illegal to fish in just about any stream. You can fish in rivers
upstream from any dams but basically all other freshwater streams and
rivers that have access to the ocean (and therefore salmon) are closed to
fishing all the time.
