HOW TO FISH WITH KIDS IN A BOAT

I have spent quite a bit of time fishing with my children in a boat. While we often do catch fish, if you plan to be on the water for more than an hour you better come prepared. The video below was made in 2010 but the ideas still hold true today. Enjoy.

Remember it is not the fish you catch that is important it is the time you shared together.

BEAR RIVER OR IS IT THE YUBA IT MIGHT BE THE FEATHER

When the Yuba, Feather and/or Bear River's water level begins to drop, so will you. As the sun warms the days you will want to fish along the bottom to be successful. 

Something happens to a fish when the river level drops to it's summer flows. The fish feel vulnerable.  So when you are out this summer, think deep and keep an eye out for one of those blue holes in the middle of the river as we did while fishing the XXXXXXX  in early June of 2012. We caught a total of seven rainbows the largest was 17 inches on this very special day.
