Striper Fishing and caught this!

I headed down to the river after work yesterday in search of some Stripers. It was nice to cool off a bit while getting wet wading to spot #1. Fished for about 30-40 min. Nadda. I’m sure the boat that came through didn’t help. I reeled in my lure, zipped up the backpack and decided [...]

Finally! My first Striper this year.

I have not done nearly as much Striper Fishing as I did last year because I have been doing a whole lot more Bass fishing, Large Mouth, Spotted Bass, Small Mouth, etc. Either on my own pounding the shore or fishing tournaments with the new Bass Club I joined this year. I have only made [...]

I’m a confident fisherman and know it’s called fishing [...]

American River Panoramics

Each time I’m on the American River fishing I will try to get at least one Panoramic shot. Unless of course it’s a “secret” fishing hole. (lol) The North, Middle and South forks of the American River converge upstream of Folsom Reservoir. Below the dam, the main stem of the American River is often referred [...]

American River Steelhead hunt continues…

Fished waaaay below the Sunrise foot bridge this afternoon for nada. I thought this water might be holding some fish… But as it turned out, it may have just been too swallow for any fish moving through to stick around. I did take this cool pano and found a really cool smoker! Nice!

American River – Steelhead Fishing opening day 2009

The American River is closed from Nov 1. just above Goethe Park to the Hazel Bridge and reopens January 1st. I obviously had not fished this water since late Oct. and was really looking forward to it. So I thought I would give it a try on Opening Day. I went to my first spot [...]
