Went out with a couple of buddies on his bass boat. They used gear and bait, and I threw flies for most of the time (I had to switch to gear some of the time b/c of how they drifted the boat. It is...

Hi Ed,

It was nice meeting you at Rancho Seco a while back. Over the weekend, I finally used my porta bote on the American. I too wanted to see whether I can motor my little boat up the river. We...

I like my 12 ft. Porta Bote (a folding boat). It is big enough for me to take the kids out fishing and light enough for me to put on top of my SUV (much easier with two adults but manageable alone)....

This was my first float trip and with a guide. What can I say but that Charlie is a great guide, teacher and cook. He told us to fish over here and we caught a fish. He told us to fish over there and...

Thanks Bill for the information. I will definitely visit the shop to learn more about floating the American and possibly hiring Andy to learn how to fish for Stripers.

Thanks again.
John

Hi Bill and others,

I finally took your advice and purchased a boat, a porta bote to exact. It is 12 foot in length and I have a 50 lbs trolling motor. It works wonderfully on lakes. I was...

Can you fish the Consumnes River?

Getting polarized lens with a prescription can be tricky especially if you are beyond the +5.0. Basically Action Optics and the other eye companies can't accommodate that prescription b/c the wrap on...

Man, how many goldfish can that little bass eat :lol: Pretty amazing how fast they attack.

Man, that's funny. Good thing he gets his poles for free. John

Thanks to all for the feedback and suggestions. JPY

Bruce - Nice set up.

I am leaning towards the Porta Bote.

Mike -I seriously considered a kayak or canoe. Unfortunately I don't think my son is old enough to sit still in a kayak to fish. That's why I was considering a raft since he can move around a littie...

Bill,

The Porta-Bote is verything I am looking for. Have you fished from it before? Do you sell it at the shop? How much?

Anybody body have any experience with the Porta-Bote.

John

Thanks Darian. I thought about prams, but the problem is storage. I need something that I can put away and not take up space in the garage since I can't install a pully system. So basically the only...

Anybody has any experience/comments with inflatable boat with a hard floor board so that you can stand on? I am interested in a portable boat that I can fish from alone as well as taking my kids out...

I believe it depends on your policy and how many times you made claims on it. When I had my stuff stolen, I immediately filed a police report and prepared an itemized list of the stolen items. I...

Hi Mike,

Do you find it more difficult to nymph without an indicator? Is there an advange to fish without an indicator or is it just preference?

Beautiful fish. Please keep the reports coming....

Jay - Save me a seat when you decide to give that presentation. John

Rob - Very nice view from your house.

I just came back from Salt Lake City. I fished the Middle Provo River for three days. What a beautiful river. Great fishing too. Caught more fish on the dry...

Hi Mike,

Welcome to Sac. I too was a Bay Area transplant and I used to live in the Pocket area. However, when I lived in that area, I was fishing was conventional gear. If you want to fish and...

Oops. It's Oto's Japan Food on Freeport Blvd. between Florin and Fruitridge.

I'll check out the butter site.

Thanks,
John

Darian - Went grocery shopping with the wife and found that Otto's (a Japanese grocery store on Freeport Blvd. ) sells passion fruit jelly as well as other HI products. Have fun experimenting. John

Hi Bill - I am relatively new to fly fishing. I have been fly fishing for about a year. Unfortunately, I did not visit your shop until earlier this year to grab some free flies for joining CFFU. You...

Great stuff. Thanks again.
