Joey
& Nicky at the November Putah Creek Clinic
 
 
 
Two of the
younger members of November's Putah Creek Nymph Fishing Clinic,
Joey and Nicky had a successful trip their first time out.
In the top
shots, they learn about the aquatic entomology of the river,
then seine the current themselves to find appropriate insects.
Nicky works his roll cast under the tight conditions at the
stream, and both young men land trout before the day is over!
Congratulations
to these new avid anglers!

Department Manager Dan hoists a load of rockfish which he caught
in Timber Cove during 2002. Sharp-eyed folk will notice his
preferred method of sneaking up on these fish.

Twins Dan and Scott show off their results from two different
trips. Dan's (on the left) was a 25 pounder, but Scott's weighed
in at 34. |
 
These
top four shots were emailed to us from Norway,
where longtime customer Don V. must be wearing himself out
catching and releasing these
amazing
Atlantic Salmon while fishing the fjords.

One
of our long-time customers sent us this shot from his around-the-world
trip -
this was the first fish Elyza ever caught. Sure, it's a nice
fish from an exotic locale - Nairobi to be exact.
But we weren't all that impressed until we noticed the "quality"
of the fish's teeth.
Just in case your screen doesn't show it too well, we've magnified
it below. Would you want to hold that in your hands?

Club",

Sean
still manages to catch and release a variety of fish in the

at the camera!

Three
different trips, all with excellent results - Dan, Jim and
Gene all play hooky one day, Captain Ron boats a pair, and
Big Jim gets a big salmon!

Now, we've
heard enough stories of "fish that broke gear" over
the years to fill a book.
So if you're going to claim that you caught a fish big enough
to break a net -
you better provide photographic proof!
Fishing department manager Dan tests equipment under real-world
situations.
Here, a 40+ pounder stresses everything!
