Well, it depends on what type of fishing you're talking about: trout exclusively or stream fishing in general. North Coast has better access to steelhead and salmon, and driving East a couple of hours can take you to prime trout fishing around the Mt. Shasta area and farther east. In SoCal you're really limited locally in terms of stream fishing, and probably have to head towards the Owens Valley for quality trout fishing consistently. There's always ocean fishing and lake fishing for bass down there. If it were me, and some day it will be and hopefully well before I'm unable to get around a trout stream, I'd consider New Mexico.
