California Fly Fisher magazine 17 Years, 7 Months ago
|
|
Received the latest issue yesterday. There is an article on shad fishing that many here might find quite interesting. I wonder if the author is getting a tad too famous to fish with me again? Good job buddy.

"Rivers course through my dreams, rivers cold and fast, rivers well-known and rivers nameless, rivers that seem like ribbons of blue water twisting through wide valleys, narrow rivers folded in layers of darkening shadow, rivers that have eroded down deep in a mountain's belly, sculpted the land, peeled back the planet's history exposing the texture of time itself."
— Harry Middleton (Rivers of Memory)
"Each night as I haul myself onto the back of county garbage truck no. 2, there is a familiar wind, some thread of moonglow or starlight, a splatter of dark rain on my skin, something that stirs my memory, and again, if even for a brief moment, I am on some mountain river, some stretch of bright water, full of possibilities, including the possibility of trout, perhaps one that, when hooked, will haul me in and out of time, in and out of life's mysterious and frightening, wondrous and incomprehensible continuum, even to the edges of the universe." -- Harry Middleton

I misspoke. The NCFFB IS the big time.....just the pay leaves something to be desired! Greg hasn't given me a raise since I started here!

Is California Fly Fisher available at any retail outlets (Barnes & Noble, Borders)? I would really like to learn a thing or two about Shad fishing. However, I don't think I can get this month's issue if I sign up for a subscription.

Most of the fly shops carry it. They could probably mail one to you if you don't have a shop close.

I just received my first copy of the California Fly Fisher. The shad article is great. I hope its okay to ask a follow-up question here. Is there a particular type of water (deep pools, riffles, eddies, fast, slow) I should focus on when chasing shad? I hope to make it out the Russian when the shad show-up.
