There’s a kayaking guide for this run, but from what I can tell, they’ve closed all access off from the public since the guide was p...

I stopped fishing the creek in early November after seeing that the fish were already in really dark spawning colors and podded up in the normal areas. Give the Yuba a try. It can be just as challen...

Kind of an interesting idea. Would it survive or fall to the take all give none?

Aw me, please spare the folks who live along Pleasants Valley road.

Looks like Pleasants Valley Road is getting really hammered, lots of homes lost. I took my daughter to the creek on Sunday to fish and we are chatting on the way home about how nice it would be to live along there, but the fire risk was scary. Hope everyone gets out OK -- Edited by Bob Loblaw on Wednesday 1...
