Let's go "Half-pounder" fishing Saturday!!!

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

Saturday morning @ 8:00 am we will be at Watt Avenueon the Lower American River just below the bridge on the south side of the river.

Anyone who wants to show up to either learn a little about swinging flies for half-pounders or to help us teach people.

Bring almost any fly rod with a floating line, leader and some #10-14 wet flies or nymphs.

Probably should have waders.

You need a valid fishing license and a steelhead punch card.

I think you also need to fish barbless on the river too.

This is a free event.

**We will show you some very basic techneques that will help you to be sucessful on our local river as well as many other rivers for Steelhead in the fall.

Just wanted to add....fill out your steelhead card (location code and date) BEFORE you get on the river.

My buddy almost got a ticket last year by DFG for not filling it out prior.

Just my .02 cents.

Where does one get a steelhead card?

Emigh Hardware, Big 5, Walmart, Broadway Bait, or Fisherman's Warehouse........

[Clayton]

is the whole stretch of the lower american barbless now?

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

I think it is to do with rivers that have salmon in them, so yes, I think?
