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.

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
