The campgrounds at Lewiston are geared towards tents last time I was there. Rv's set up in the parking lot. Not good. May have changes since then.

Oregon is a great place to visit. Not sure about conditions this early in the year. Diamond lake just north of Crater is a great float tube lake. Just north of that is Lemolo Res. Cold water and...

Not sure where you are located but if you are anywhere near Pete give him a shout out. Phenominal work.

Yes, the 106M is a young reel. Nice reel and I love mine but it is not a Hardy, Sorry.

Hey Tony, class of 71. You were off living life when I started there. Actually the building is still there, it is the Junior high now. The jr hi is now adult ed.

Can't let Bill get the last word! Seems that Sacramento is truly a city of transplants. Born and raised here and went to Norte del Rio. At least I'm younger than Tony B.

Sounds like one of the Japanese Tiemco rods. Not familiar with that one though. You might check with The Blue Dun in Tokyo.

There are pros and cons for both factory and custom. I build my own because I enjoy the process and like fishing something a little different than others. You can pick and choose the exact...

Can't believe Norte Del Rio hasn't been represented! Class of '71. Grew up here in Sacramento. Lived behind Arden Fair, hung out at the Saving Center on Howe and Arden, used to play in the fields...

Nice fish! Was up there two years ago and had 4 foot white caps, not good with a float tube. Will be up there in about a week, any suggestions? Best spot for using a float tube.

I have a 10 ft 5 wt 2 pc that I have been thinking of selling. Pretty different from a 9 ft 4 pc but I thought I'd put it out there for you to consider. Mike

What are they charging now to fish that area? Used to have a membership there before they sold out. Not happy about how that came about. Haven't fished there since.

Hi Charles, I was just wondering the same thing. Checked the Forest Service site and it says the road is still closed.

Timmo, check this out. Have bought a lot from them, good people.

Bill is dead on. There are so many options and so much competition on line there is no way for him to compete. However, unless you are building a lot of rods it is very hard to get what you are...

Well, I have built on an older 3 pc 5wt. and liked it alot. nice md/fast action, little on the slower end of that catagory. Built a 6'6" 2 wt that I didn't care for. Loaded it with a 4 wt before it...

My favorite was in Idaho, sorry no pics. My Uncle Earl had 20 acres across the highway from the Salmon River. When he built his new home in about 1965 he tore down, probably just had to give it a...

Most of the people I talked to said that the salmon run was pathetic. Apperently they had already come through and folks were waiting for Steelhead. Saw some in the Elk.

I just got back from a two week vacation. Headed up the Cal coast and the rivers were dark brown, no fishin'. As we travelled north to Oregon started to see some clearing, still no fish. There...

Little Striper, sorry for your loss. Dogs add so much to our lives. We lost a very special Springer Spaniel 11 years ago and we decided that the pain was too intense to get another dog right away. ...

Great pics Bill! What an awesome trip! Give me a call when you want to hit the American. Nice rod!

I was fishing some private property in the Sierras about ten years ago. Wanted to fish this particular small stream but when I got to the cleared area where we head up the ravine I spotted some...

I have the Chota studded boots and those smooth rocks WILL get you. I was thinking of putting in some aluminum screws instead of the hard ones. Anyone try this? Thinking it might be the best of...

I was up in Tahoe this weekend looking for some stream fishing. Pretty slim pickin's as there wasn't much snow this year. Had a good time, caught a few, but was hard to find water that was cool...
