    Default Gettin' to the good places

    The fish in these Feather River pools don't get much pressure. They're pretty dumb actually!

    Default tough spot

    I don't care how dumb they are, that's WAY too much effort to put in to get my line wet.

    Wow. I've thought about doing that for years and you actually had the stones to up and do it.

    Congratulations Ralph, that's way cool.

    We have had some wild customers over the years who used ropes to get down into remote areas.

    Dr Tom Deeble is one of those guys.......

    Bingo! You can rap down the falls (there are a long series of falls/pools) and scramble out to Milsap or simply jug out when done fishing. It's best, of course, to throw out a sleeping bag at the base of one of the falls so you can fish at dusk and dawn and watch the sun set and moon rise over the canyon.

    In the heart of California it is amazing how much absolutely untouched water you can find if you're willing to make the effort . . . and half the fun is the effort!

    The fish or the Fisherman? In all seriousness it looks like an awesome place to spend some time but my balls aren't big enough to strap my ass to a rope & repel down a cliff.

    That'd make one awesome video Ken...repelling to your favorite bucket.

    Great shots Ralph...sounds like an adventure well worth the effort. There was a day but fortunately those days are behind me now.

    Sonny, the black lab, ran ahead to make sure there were no gophers or jackrabbits in the way. If you don't give a dog a specific job, he'll improvise one for himself and it will invariably be fun. There's a lesson there.
