Bringing you the BEST in Outdoor Information

Where else in the entire world can you live and have as many angling opportunities? All you have to do is decide what you want…& go get it! Saltwater offers King Salmon, Halibut, Lings, Striped Bass & Sharks, with limits the norm. The Bay has Stripers, Sturgeon & Halibut & the Delta has Small & Largemouth Bass. Keep an eye on winds & temperatures – it’s cooler out there so dress accordingly. Rivers have Salmon – daily limits TWO this year - plus Shad, Bass & Catfish. Head to lakes for Trout, Bass, Catfish, Crappie, Kings & Kokanee! Know the rules & regulations…they’re confusing. At this time of year, wear sunblock & your lifejacket.
