The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Bjorn, you were very likely trespassing if you were below 49. That area has been locked up by the landowners and the power company for years. Don't even think of touching the ground down by Middle Bar. I remember the kayackers putting up a good fight to get more accesses down in that area. Not sure of the results. That area is watched closely and the fines are big. I use to fish off the bridge when I bait fished. It was not uncommon to see F&G or the sheriff down there every day. I stopped going when some of the crowd there got a little questionable. When you start to fear for your safety it's time to quit. I have fished above 49 but not with any success.
