    Wow Bill, very sad news.

    Comforting though that Chuck lived a long full life, had lots of adventures, and experienced fishing in CA that younger generations can only dream about.

    Klamath Closure Info?

    Hello steelheaders.

    Wondering if anyone has current intel on what section(s) of the Klamath are open to non-tribal folks? A friend just called the Weitchpec Store and was told that the Yurok...

    Hi Bill,

    I went with you and Noe to the Klamath River Lodge way back in I think 1998 or 1999? The fishing was not very good but it was an awesome trip!

    Hi Troutsource. Nice American River "by-catch" and photos but I am pretty confident you misidentified those fish as Pike-minnow. They look like Hardhead (Mylopharodon conocephalus) to me.

    Not that it really matters, but my suspicion is that you are actually catching Hardhead, not Sacramento Pikeminnow. Another California native minnow, Hardhead are very similar in...
