Hope all is well for all those in the area. Me, I went salmon fishing, not
catching, on the Sacramento River at Walnut Grove. Slight breeze, hot,
needed my shorts, not long pants. Saw one salmon hooked, one boat with one
dragging in the river and one acquaintances that lives in the area, had 2
early in the morning. Still do not understand people dragging a fish in
the water. In the river, the surface temp is probably still 65, which
makes for poor quality fish, and we do get sea lions all the way to
Sacramento. They will take the fish off the stringer. Gut them and put
them on ice for nice quality fish. These salmon are far enough down river,
that 90% are still ocean quality meat. Further up river, they may be mush,
black spawned out fish.

Maybe they didn't have a permit (if required) and wanted to be able to
cut it loose if the mounties
showed up. You know, "Aw, it was just a dogfish, officer."


Nope, see idiots tow trout in the lakes also. Warm water is not good for
great tasting fish. Just have a line in the water without a license will
get you a ticket.

What! Have you ever tasted mahi or grouper?

Not after you let them marinate in warm water for 4-5 hours after they are
dead.
