In light of posts concerning cars being thrashed while parked streamside, I was pleasantly surprised to find my IM reel on the windshield wiper after returning from a long Saturday afternoon fishing below Beardsley.?

Last May, I accidentally grabbed my backup pair of waders and went shad fishing in the American River.? I waded deeper than I normally would wade.? I noticed a slow leak on my left side above my waist line.? The location of the leak was in a non-critical area, so I didn't think much of it. Last week, I final...

My family is looking for locations for up to 20 people to spend a week together each summer. House keeping cabins on a lake preferred, but nearby access to water OK. Units sleeping 4-5 each optimal. Within 150 miles of Sacramento best. Any suggestions are most appreciated. Steve

Just about everyone has spent hard earned money to buy quality fly fishing tackle.? A North Carolina man bought a "toy" setup for his granddaughter.? He caught a record Channel Catfish with it while she was on a potty break.

Not so sure I'd want to fish across the puddle--my waders are dirty, hat soiled with sweat, shirt faded and torn, a vest that only gets "a washing" when I mistakenly take a wrong step, a clear conscious to fish downstream, and no fear of tying on an attractor.? Check out the heated controvers...

I believe one leg of the bicycle race is going to pass Putah Creek from Napa to Winters on Tuesday next week. Just a head's up to everyone. Will they close the road? I just happened to talk with someone about the race and found out about the course.
