Greetings, as the resident fly fishing guru (Hey if Tom Stienstra says so, I'll take it), I have a few odds and ends to share for those of you who may have piscatorial inclinations.
- The Trout Underground is a blog you should check into if you like the Upper Sacramento, Bamboo rods or fishing in general. More consistent than a winter BWO hatch and some beautiful photos round things off very nicely.
- Way Upstream is a blog that comes from the fishy side of Patagonia. We love that company for their long-standing support of our work and for their commitment to environmentalism.
- It may not be my river or my fishery, but the folks at Felt Soul Media have put together a really beautiful looking film about the fight to stop the Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay. Red Gold is a thing of cinematic beauty.
- River of Renewal, a movie about the Klamath, which IS one of our rivers, is making the rounds through film festivals. It might not be coming to a theatre near you, but it's probably worth the drive. Upstream Battle is another Klamath film also making the rounds.
With the sun out again today and nary a cloud on the horizon my thoughts are turning to the snow pack and a fast-forward to the heat of August... if you have a rain dance, now is the time to break it out. I'm working on a presentation to give to fly fishing clubs around the State about how this drought is mixing with the weird world of California water politics. If you are in a fly fishing club, or any other kind of organization, interested in having this preso, drop me a line.
