Any chances for trout might be from a float tube at the reservoir on the Carmel River. Unfortunately that area is burning and I doubt you can access it. The streams in the area are closed due to fires. Surf fishing for perch is a good bet I hear. I have been told that anything that flashes orange does the trick. I have never tried myself and have always been threatening. Carmel has a fly fishing shop as does Soquel and Capitola (in Santa Cruz County). Good luck, wish I had more info for you.
