Description

Upper Kern 7 section is considered “World Class” waters of the Sierra Nevada. Contain Kern River Rainbows up to 20″ and an occasional Brown also up to 18″. Studies conducted within Sequoia National Park indicate that Kern River Rainbows are between 600 to 1400 fish per mile. This would put their population size to about 8,000 to 18,000 fish. For this reason, some fishery experts are concerned that continued competitive pressure from Browns and Brookies might cause this species to become extinct over the next 100 years.
