After many enjoyable years fishing for a variety of species from panfish to King salmon from my gorgeous, tricked out, Metal Head pram, I've decided to sell her. I'll be getting a nice pontoon boat...
Bill, I've caught a number of crappie in the delta using mostly nymphs while targeting redear. One of the best tactics I learned from my old friend, Ed Given, was to use an indicator (trout style)...
Mark,
I don't like fishing the big lake or the Forebay on a full moon. It fishes best during quarter moon phases or during a new moon.
If you do fish a full moon, the bite is often late,...
John,
I long too used LC-13 but when I started guiding many moons ago I found that my clients had difficulty dealing with a loop system in heads. Finally SA and then Rio came out with the...
Hey Bill,
That is a great ad and they at least got the fly fishing/casting right. I enjoyed watching it. The US ad agencies don't have a clue when they show an ad with someone supposedly fly...
Matt Havelock has a sign-up post on my bulleting board www.danblanton.com/bulletin.php
Just reply to his post an tell him who is attending. We base our food amount on the number of folks signing...
Striperfest is always held on the 1st Saturday in November and this year it's on November 1st. It will again be hosted by the Sugar Barge Resort and marina up on the levee at the SB Event Center,...

Thanks Bill.
Hey Jay - so that's why my ears were ringing... Brad is indeed a fun guy to fish with. I've enjoyed the couple of times I've shared my skiff on the delta with him. I hope to fish his water with...
Hey Jay,
I sure wish you well and that it all turns out to be the best and final move you make. Good luck!
Bill... have you ever considered running for political office...? :-)
And can they be up-loaded from my own computer image folders by browsing my file folders? I don't use on-line image storage like Photo Bucket.
Thanks,
Dan
I can hardly tell I'm towing it behind my Tahoe, although I do have a big V-8 engine. With this trailer you don't need a load-leveler although I did install an anti-sway bar to help keep the trailer...
Hey Bill, we love the 8-foot slide on our larger trailer since in makes the unit so much more roomy; that said, it also adds considerable weight. We wanted a smaller, ligh-weight, easy-to-tow unit...
For us the bed position and size was very important. Your really don't spend that much time in the trailer but you will spend a good deal of time in bed. We wanted a smaller, light, easy-to-tow...
NCL,
Please feel free to e-mail me at danblanton@danblanton.com if you wish more information on the trailer my wife and I recently purchased. It is really laid out nice and is of the highest...
Hey Bill, Cindy and I have made two trips since purchasing our 17-foot White Water Classic, the latest to Lake Almanor, staying at the Northshore Camp grounds. So far we love the trailer. It's...
Have you actually tried one of the Sea Level foam stripping buckets? I have long used the Pleskunas PVC buckets and have two in my skiff right now. I also have one of the Sea Level 15-inch foam...
Hey Mar,
That's a very cool top-water fly! It looks like a big bullfrog with those bobber eyes. Nice going!
I have never used anything on the head portion of my sinking lines. Dressing a sinking line can make it sink slower. I might use some 303 Aerospace Protectant on a sinking line to keep it from...
Yep, saltwatertides.com is the one I use and like. I don't even purchase a tide schedule anymore, I simply print out a month's worth of tides for the various locations in the delta I plan...
Steve,
I agree with Scott. Give the Sugar Barge a call or go on-line to their website and check out their boat storage rates - dry and wet slip. The Sugar Barge has long supported the delta...
Hey Mar,
What did you catch those redear on. I'm really interested in learning more about the delta panfish fishery. So far I have not been able to locate big numbers of them. Just a few here...
