I'd like to think that this is just another method for the BLM to generate some revenue, but somehow I doubt that is the case.? It's from 2007 but first I've heard of it. Linky linky

?One thing i've noticed this year, at least on the Yuba.....Pretty darn good fall run, one of the better one's ive seen (although i hear that the feather had a down year, which is odd considering the yuba was probably up as far as counts go). ?

I was just wondering what you guys thought about rivers that allow bait fishing, but are catch and release only. Why would DFG allow bait fishing if the fisherman can't keep any? The steelhead are gonna swallow the bait and now after having a hook remover down their throat they're gonna be released bac...

The new California Fly Fisher has a great write up and painting from? Yukon Mike.? The painting is of the Silver Fork.? Great job on the painting!!? Now I know why you are Yukon Mike since you are from Alaska.? It must be tough fishing for little trout when you grew up with big salmon all over the place.

Had an interesting experience today and was wondering if any of you guys might have seen this before.

It was floating...

Ive gotten out a couple times this season, few birds here and there, was just currious how everyone has been doin thus far this year.? Hopefully the weather this weekend will push some birds down.? Nothing like hunting in the morning, and swinging the fly in the afternoon. Cast and Blast!

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
