About a week ago I got an awesome opportunity to fish some privately owned water near the town of Beckwourth, CA. It ended up being a tougher nut to crack than I would have thought for C&R only fish that don't see too many flies, but I still managed to land a few decent rainbows. There were two guys with spinning rods and two guys with fly rods-- and I have to admit it: the guys throwing panther martins absolutely knocked 'em dead!
I also have to say I didn't care much who caught how many fish-- none of us experienced a bad day of fishing with how beautiful it was out there. I would have been happy without a fish to my name out there. It was classic pine & meadow country complete with wildflowers, beavers and bears. Good for the soul.
Thanks again for having me out there guys! (here's two of many fish that these guys caught on spinners):

Man. You got to go to the Projects. That's my homeboys grandparents property. Early spring and fall are the jam up there. Who did you talk too to get in there?
