Yes, you can fish for Carp and Tilapia in the LA River. First Exposure to the Outdoors I grew up on an Apple ranch and my childhood was spent climbing trees and being in the outdoors. Video games weren't around then so we played outside, dug holes and got dirty. Then we moved from there to Idaho and I spent a lot of time fishing lakes and some streams up there with my my friends. Gosh I remember fishing for carp in the canals and trout in the mountains and fishing the Snake River. One of my favorite things to do was crawdad fish. My Mom would take me to this little canal, really a little irrigation ditch next to some railroad tracks few miles from the house. I would go with my Doberman and my Doberman would run off chasing muskrats and whatever else. I would just have a ball with of a piece bacon on the end of a string catching all the crawdad I could catch.
