Shouldn’t the license fee go down when the season closed? Lol

The first fish is really expensive, they go down in price the more you catch. I get the disabled license now $8 I think, used to be $6
Got mine earlier in the year. $ 6.50 for the license and $ 10.00 for the trout stamp (even though I don't keep the darn things).
Good on you for wearing the PFD - we lose easily a dozen people a year in this area because they over estimate their swimming abilities.

Stupid not too. It doesn't stop you from doing what you are there to do.

It's amazing the difference in water clarity once you get out to the island. I went paddle boarding there when I was a kid and you could see the Garibaldi fish (orange ones, also the state fish) down 30 feet easily.

I think my wife took a couple of pics of what you are describing. I will see if she has any good ones.

I worked with a CO at Folsom that was a scuba diver. He would take a dive charter every year for lobsters at Catalina. He was in love with the smoked salmon I would bring him and he always brought me a lobster after each dive trip. He would also bring me abalone from his free dives.

Unfortunately it's harvest has been banned due to poaching and habitat loss.

I've been watching videos posted by thru hikers on the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) and they are hiking thru 9ft of snow right now. The snow melt in the Sierra is just starting and there is lots more water to come...

I went over the south Yuba river via Edwards crossing yesterday on the way up to the malikoff diggins. To show my daughter that shit. The river is still flowing hard. One of my favorite places to pan and sluice right there. There’s no doing that for a couple more months i’m guessing.
