I live in the glendora area of so. calif. and have been looking to capture a live frog for my grandaughter (2 yrs.old). She's into anything that crawls. I have all the equipment needed but can't locate a body of water where I might find them. Could someone identify where they know frogs to inhabit. I would greatly appreciate it.

Try going to Fullerton Creek. There are alot of frogs there and alot of crayfish too. I have also caught some nice pumkinseed and catfish in there at times. You can start at St.College & Yorba Linda Blvd in Fullerton and work your way down creek into Acacia Park. Parking is best in Acacia Park near the church. Good luck man

I FOLLOWED YOUR DIRECTIONS AND FOUND THE CREEK, IT SURE IS DEEP AND STEEP. I PLAN TO RETURN IN THE NEAR FUTURE AT NIGHT TO SEE WHAT I MIGHT FIND. THANKS

Rancho Duarte golf course at night for sure. Fish canyon is a block away and also is loaded. The park on Buena Vista street next to Fish Cnyn just north of Huntington dr is also full. Look in the water meter boxes around your area. There are a lot of toads who live in the boxes due to the moisture. Good Luck

For a real urban experience, try Caltech in Pasadena. There used to be long, rectangular raised cement ponds as part of the university landscaping. Along with lily pads and goldfish there were absolutely huge bullfrogs (bigger than a softball)and large crawdads. I assume they still exist. This was 7-8 years ago when my kids would use bacon on a string to catch and release the crawdads. Of course, the campus guards told us to stop. But they're fun to look at.
