Lower Sac, Cypress Bridge construction

I floated it last weekend, it was not as bad as the reports have indicated. The signs are big, the flow looks like it wants to take you to the right but don't over row like I did or the pulled-in oar will still catch on the back pier and make you knuckleslap the front person in the back of the head. Good thing he...

Scotts Creek

Well, I was hoping to fish the San Lorenzo for some steelies, but the local shop said it's raging and muddy. He did tell me that Scotts Creek clears up really fast and is probably fishable. So that's where I'm going tomorrow. Anyone ever fish that creek?

Any advice/info on the r...
