With the low number of all anadromous fisheries, predators are having a serious impact.
That seal might be following the Shad right now. Thanks.
Looks like fly fishing for bass is alive and well.
Some of the anglers in these photos would love to have one to blow up for the wall.
Thanks John.......
Thanks Ryan for having a wonderful fly fishing event and so close to Sacramento and the Bay area.

I like to go into the Watt Avenue access that is on the south side of the river.
Drive into the river bottom and park at the bridge, and walk upstream on the access road for a hundred yards or so....

Valco made 4 sizes of these historic aluminum prams.
Very good deals.

We used to give the local fly clubs a 50% off coupon for their raffle at their annual dinners.
One guy came in and bought two Sage fly rods, two large saltwater fly reels, and 4 fly lines.

They should cast a little better and be a little lighter than imported, larger size fly rods.
Christmas Island has gone through a lot of "ups and downs" since 1984.
I always say to have it on your Bucket List and most newcomers should go with an annual group for safety.

An old friend in fisheries in CA told me that in the Klamath River, the Steelhead were tributary spawners.
He said these dam removals will expose 400 miles of river and tributaries for the fish,...
For a backup saltwater fly rod, we recommended the Redington "Predator" for $349, new with a lifetime warranty.
Owned by Far Bank, the Redington rods are designed by the same folks who do the Sage...
That is a very good boat, motor, and trailer, now that you worked on it.
Adding a new 4-stroke outboard on an older hull is the way to go.
My uncle had a 12' Klamath Trailorboat with an...
