I was working at "West Capitol Rod-N-Gun" in West Sacramento about 40 years ago.
My friends Al Perryman and Cal Guin showed up around noon with a big Striper they caught at the Mouth of the Feather.
It weighed 40# out front of the bait shop on our big scale.
I have a picture somewhere of Al and Cal too. This is Cal with his big one.
Notice the old Fenwick fiberglass fly rod and the Pflueger Supreme saltwater fly reel.
Locals Al Perryman, Cal Guin, Jimmy Potter and Larry Cullens were fly fishing for Stripers from small anchored prams back in those days so they really pioneered it for the rest of us. That was a long time ago.....
PS: These guys are all in the new movie: "Rivers of a Lost Coast" too.
Some of their favorite spots where the mouth of the American, mouth of the Feather and down around Walnut Grove. They fished sunset to sunrise, all night long, back in those days.
They fish in the night time around bridges down near Walnut Grove in the winter? Too cold for me.......
