| more info: |
The Outdoor Channel (the one with the moose logo) TV show Familiar
Waters is doing a 3 partner on this location and 100 Mile Charter starting
May 15th. They have rated these lakes as one of the world's 10 best
trout fisheries. You don't need to be an expert fisherperson, but this
is not a trip for beginners. You also need to be reasonably fit as we
haul water from the lake, do all of our own cooking, operate the boats
and hike to other lakes. Reports from my 2003 ("No
Bears Guaranteed") and 2004 ("British
Columbia Lakes 2004") trips to this location are available by following
the links. |

Kistler Ranch Fishout Details |
| what: |
Fish for bass and bluegill the weekend before Memorial Day. We made it earlier to free
up that holiday weekend for those you have made plans. We could use help in organizing
this fishout, especially in the food and drinks. This is a great time, a very social
occasion, spiced up with good fishing. The rains this year mean plenty of water and the
prospects for healthy, aggressive fish.
|
| when: |
22 May 2005 (Sunday) |
| cost: |
Around $15 per person |

| | Upper Sac Fishout Details |
|---|
| what: |
We will start Saturday morning off with an on-water nymphing clinic taught
by Ron Hart, a well-known expert and guide on the area's waters. Ron will cover
topics including: stream entomology, water reading, rigging, casting technique,
drag free drifts, hook set, playing, and finally landing and releasing fish.
Immediately after the clinic we will break for a potluck lunch and then fish the
river in the afternoon either right at the city park, or if there is a consensus,
we can hike up to beautiful Mossbrae Falls. If you've never fished
the Upper Sac, you're in for a treat!
|
| where: |
Upper Sacramento River, near Dunsmuir |
| when: |
17 September 2005 (Saturday) |
| cost: |
Depends on number of anglers. If we can get 10 members to join the clinic, the
tuition will be $20 per person, and possibly less expensive if we get more participants. |
