I guess this is actually at the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. It looked like that in the 1960s but we had about half that many

people.

I drove by and looked at the Minnow Hole south of the Sacramento Zoo on the Sacramento River today and it was all grown over.

We rode our bikes down there, maybe 2 miles, in the spring in the 1960s and caught lots of Shad on spinning tackle.

We had some really good Japanese fishermen in south Sacramento and I watch what they were doing.

I really checked out there setup and then watched them cast and retrieve.

The fish came along the wall in schools. After a while I would just wait until the anglers below me started hooking fish.

Upper right is Theo Way, my street. In the 1960s Interstate 5 did not exist though.
