  Wilms Ranch
date:  April 13, 2008
location: Wilms Ranch, Pope Valley (east of St Helena
details: One Trout and two Bass ponds, on a ranch, about 100 miles north of Redwood City, in the Pope Valley, east of St. Helena.  This is private water and the cost is usually $75 per rod.  The owner, Paul Wilm, told me that the club price would be $50 if enough people sign up.  Three or four tubers at one time is the maximum on the trout pond, and about the same number on the bass ponds.  There are some wadeable areas on the bass ponds.  If too many sign up for Saturday I have reserved Sunday, April 14, too and we can spread out over two days.  Some may want to spent the night in the Napa valley and fish both days. rking permit. Snelling is 2 ½ to 3 hour drive from the Peninsula.
fees: Fee of $50.00 per person.
