The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Thanks for the regs there. We were below the Chiloquin bridge launch, so we were legal.

Early in April I was fishing near our place in Placerville and a guy stopped to ask me how the fishing was. Told me this stretch of river didn't open for another two weeks. I was pretty sure he was wrong, but had not re-read the regs prior to fishing. I raced back home to make sure I hadn't just been breaking the law. Despite the local telling me he was positive and that he'd been fishing the area for 18 years... he was flat wrong. The bit of water I'd been fishing has been open year round for the past 2 years.
