This information would probably apply to Lake Berryessa, one of our top Nor Cal bass fisheries.

100% spot on.

California has had huge corruption about our water for over a century.

No fish, no fisherman.

The American Shad was like the Blue Gill for trout beginners, but for larger river fly fishing practice.

After a few seasons of wading and fly casting for Shad, we were kind of ready for...

Inspiring post, Bill.

With 'catch-n-release for bass only', it will make it a great bass fishery again.



It is bass time in all the low-elevation reservoirs and ponds now, even here in...

Dams, logging, AG, development, bad runoff, and commercial fishing in the ocean and up the rivers by Indigenous folks.

One area we don't talk about much is the...

Maybe wait till late May or June.

Good report.

Did you camp or stay somewhere?

This is a lovely rod.

The Winston IM6 rods have a little more classic action, not as stiff and fast as some of the newer rods.

I would use it for Half-pounders with a Hardy Marquis #7 or a...

"The removal of the four dams on the Klamath restores access to 400+ miles of stream habitat. I think...

Sadly, at 79 and in Florida now I will never fish the Klamath River again.
