The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Hey Folks!

Dana and I got out this weekend with the kayaks and really enjoyed the great weather even if the fishing was pretty limited. Her brother came up for the weekend and we made a quick run out to Rancho Seco on Saturday and then out to Salmon Falls on Folsom Lake on Sunday. I caught a few very small bass out at Seco and so did my brother-in law. Dana just spent her time with the camera. All in all it was nice to get out. Here are a few pictures.

That is about it folks, nice to get out even if the fishing wasnt red hot. Look forward to seeing lots of you at the bash this year!

Best Wishes!

Hey Bill,
Thanks for the report! Looks like you guys had a great time. Thanks for reminding me about Rancho Seco as it would be a good place to try our canoe.
Man you and Dana are pretty lucky to have such a generous a Brother In-Law.

Tight Lines,

Hey Joe,

Congrats on getting your canoe! You will have a ball fishing and exploring areas with your son. I have had many wonderful times with my old town tripper over the last 25 years with the kids and my wife. A canoe opens up lots of fishing and exploring alternatives.

Yes, Dana and I were lucky that her brother was generous with his time and so talented on those wood strip kayaks. Of course he didn't do them for free and we paid a pretty fair price for them.

Best Wishes and Tight Lines!

Hey Joe,

Forgot to mention that last post I included a picture from one of my many river trips with the old town tripper, that one on the John Day River about 10 years ago. There was 6 of us in three different canoes. Those smallmouth bass were sure good eating!
