Tough times in that industry.

Thanks, Andy--
Well said. Looks like one of those years...
A word from, and too, the wise!

In addition to being a gifted caster and fisherman, Chuck is a fine gentleman.
We have a rich tradition and some outstanding individuals to emulate here in our NorCal fishing community.

Bill--
This is a definite improvement. e.g. Lower American report was on point and useful.
As others have said, the key will be keeping it current.
Thx,
Ron Otto
Agreed on the Seaguar AbrazX. Excellent product, and value.
I use it for steelhead and stripers and it's proven to be consistent and dependable.
Ron Otto
Yes, Bill. That's been my experience, as well.
Andy's a great resource for us in the area.
Ron Otto
You both should be proud!
Quite an accomplishment.
How many #?
Ron Otto
Wow!! Congratulations to both of you.
Looks like you have it figured out, Andy.

For side-by-side comparison with the new Sage "One" short spey/switch rods, I suggest you bring along the TCX 7119 and 8119 (and others?) to the June 23 event. It sounds like fun.

Thanks for the updates everyone.
Robin, you and others have done an outstanding job on this. Thanks for all you've done!
But as we know, powerful interests have much at stake in this and the...
Thanks for the reminder Bill. 'Looks like it's about time to renew my own pass.
I wonder if the cost will be increasing pretty soon due to budgetary problems?
That pass is a great investment for...
We'll soon be making up for lost time on the Lower American with our striper and shad flys.
Ron Otto
They do seem to arrive more swiftly each year for some of us, don't they!
Ron Otto
Done. Thanks for alerting us Mike.

Charlie--'Had a 2/0 open up (same hook type/mfr.) trying to stop a good fish below Gristmill from my boat a couple of years ago. Maybe sometimes it just isn't meant to be.
But you never forget the...
I called Sacramento County Parks for further info today and got this e-mail response:
"With the assistance of volunteers, including some boating clubs, the Gristill access to the American River...
Thanks, Charlie. That's great news!
Keep us posted...

So, what if anything can we do now? It's odd they did not solicit our/pass owners' input.
For example, Grist Mill is a unique and irreplaceable access IMO. AND it gets used! Today when I returned...
After Hurliman's Boat & Repair (in Penryn 663-1590) beefed it up, it has worked out well with a solid, stable transom.
I have to trim the motor in close when under power against the current and it...
Well done and much appreciated Mike. We've got to get their attention sooner rather than later, and this can help.

I have a 12' Metalhead minidrifter I use on the Lower American--up to this point, primarily drifting, rowing. Now I want to use a motor.
When I put my 7.5 Honda 4-stroke on the transom, the flex in...
Jason--
Thanks for putting on the Switch Rod session last evening--we even had overcast skies and just enough rain to make it feel like steelhead season. It's amazing how far rod design has come the...
Glad to hear it, Bill!
Some of us still half-expect to see Dave on the river with a client when we're drifting the Lower American for stripers. He left an indelible mark, and is still missed.
