Hello to the Board. I look forward to participating and learning. Just one question, Alan asked for a face picture. I wonder if he wanted me or someone who looks a little more presentable???
Lookig good brother.....I mean the fish ;D ;D....Bill, just down the river from you in West Sac....
Hi.
THBailey,
Welcome...I can see your face, and it says ," I just caught me a good one".....You can learn tons here, I know I am,....
Enjoy!
Brett
You can't look any worse than most of us and your holding a fish so nobody is looking at your face anyway!
Welcome.
Well thanks Gents. Just for the record, the fish is the biggest German Brown Trout I have ever caught. Fall River several years ago. Went back in the water just after the photo, not too much worse for wear.
Nice fish, TH --
Welcome aboard!
Best,
Fred

Man, o'man, you brought up memories this am!
I was raised in Orangevale! Parents home was on Elm Avenue, between Chestnut & Filbert.
Attended Green Oaks Elementary, Louis Pasteur Middle School (was Junior High School in the day) and Casa Robles HS - Where I was the High School Yearbook Photographer.
Welcome, where you do fish in the area????

What year did you get out of Casa? Both my boys went there and my better half was a secretary in the counselors office until she retired a couple of years ago. And pretty much you name it and we fish it, the American, Folsom Lake, the Feather, the Sac, etc.
nice shot. welcome!!!!!
I graduated from Casa Robles the year they converted from writing with chunks of coal to lead-tipped pencils! 1974.
I'm an old guy. Brother and 2 sisters graduated from CR also. Also, attended Am. River Junior College - the name at the time.
Fishing locations: First fish ever caught - Folsom Lake - between Beal's point & Granite Bay.
Fished the tailing ponds for Largemouth Bass near Natomas.
Almanor lake each Labor Day weekend from before Sunrise to well after Sunset.
Wrights lake off Hwy. 50, South Fork of the American River, Silver Fork Creek near Kyburz, and most streams & lakes in the Desolation Wilderness area, the area between Hwy. 50, Hwy. 80 & Lake Tahoe. Any place in the mountains to get out of the summer heat of the Sacramento Valley.
This is a great site, you're going to like it here.

1974? Ya, that would be a bit before my boys went there! Just noticed you are in San Mateo. Believe it or not, I was raised down there. Graduated from Aragon High School class of '69. I was using the chunks of coal all the way through.
OK - this is getting stranger than fiction!
We moved to San Mateo in 1986, and our two sons both attended Aragon HS! WOW.
Sounds like we both did a location switch-a-roo!

There is no such thing as coincidence. THBailey is stalking you. :D ;D Welcome TH. Dominick
Welcome TH.
What are you and Wayne doing, switching places?
I'll be up your way tomorrow...have to go to Auburn for a day business meeting...oh joy, so looking for the 7 hour car ride to and fro.
UGH!! The bad memories! I remember having to schedule and attend an annual one day training trip down to Sunnyvale/Mountain View for work. More than a couple times when we almost didn't make it back because of traffic incidents on the freeways. Yes, the standard widths of two freeway lanes will accommodate three sedans traveling at 65 MPH...... in commuter traffic!
Welcome TH! Just earlier read some of your posts on Coastside.
