Unnamed coho creek, Cordova, AK


Why do we fish? One of the big reasons for me is to have the opportunity to visit some of the amazing places that fish call home. Here’s a look at some of my favorites…

Striperville: Beaver Slough, Mokelumne River



Confluence of the Mad River and its North Fork

Fantastic photos!!! The shot you took @ fish creek is espcially amazing…..The covenant stands (in the rainbow)….. & and the skies display the work of an intelligent designer, the handiwork of a marvelous craftsman! Truly awesome…

Thank you for sharing…I need to grab a napkin to wipe up my drool now – lol.

I love Blakes Riffle, to bad the Klamath Glen has turned to trash. I spent 4 complete summers in the glen at Terwar park 1980 – 1983. Now it full of crackheads. My Grandfather was a 30 vet of the Klamath and the only lure he ever used was a copper colored Little Cloe 2/5 oz.

That was the good old days.

Very nice. A fisherman’s eye is drawn to the water.
