hey guys,
That is a Marlin, caught by Jim Sammonds down in Baja.
Hey Rob, I'm glad to hear your going to Lake Notoma before you go to the river. For safetys sake...paddle your yak some before you fish from it and wear a PFD. Also when you do fish have a rod and paddle leash. The featherlite is a great yak but know this about sit in sides if one fills with water for some reason, they will weigh about five times what they did when they were empty. Paddle safe and wear a PFD

Thanks Rickey. .
I never go on the water without a PFD.
I"M not the best swimmer!!
I'll Go to lake Natomas 4-5 times and the lower American before I go to the Yuba.
I know about the sit on tops not holding water and they are easier to get in and out of.
I would have liked a sit on top but don't have the funds to buy one and this trade was a great deal. The feather light was used twice and is in new condition .

I understand that the featherlight is wider than some and hope that will help with balance.
I will not be using it on any rivers but the Lower American. The Lower Yuba.and the Lower Sacamento and the lower Feather. As far as the Yuba I know all the hard spots and know how to get around them.
The main reason I got it was for lakes.
I looked at you web-site and you did a great job !!
Good info.

Thank very much.
Rob

I took my new kayak out to Lake Natomas.

Went from Hazel to the cable at the folsom prison and back.
It handle great.

It will work great on rivers like the Lower Yuba , American and Feather.

We saw all kind of wild life.

They let you get very close .

This is a friend in his kayak checking out a Turtle on Lake Natomas.




Take care
-Rob

I put a fly rod holder on the Yak.


worked great on the Yuba River.

Yuba?!? Rob, you've got to get that thing into the Delta this year for some topwater bass! A kayak works PERFECTLY for working the edges of weedbeds, as it parks very nicely on top of them, thus holding you in position, but yet you'll easily be able to break away and "park" in the next spot. Thus, you'll be able to work an entire weedbed line without having to fiddle so much with your paddle to deal with currents. You have GOT to try it and see what I mean. Lucky dog, you!

Your Right Mike.

I need to try some new areas and do some bass fishing.

The Delta sounds like it would be fun.

Clementine Lake near Auburn has Small mouth bass in it.



I can't wait to try it on some lakes .


I think Carson lake or Red lake would be fun.

Take care
