Way better in its depth an shared knowledge than any magazine on the market.

Great article! It brought back memories of working on Salmon restoration when living in the PNW. The run two years after the first fish come back is the best gauge for the intial success of the first run. The fry have many challenges on their journey back but salmon are amazing survivors. Two rivers...

Just posted on the Kern forum. shane Hello friends of the Kern River. My name is Al Watson and I am the Acting District Ranger for the Kern River Ranger District. Thank you all for the energy and time you have taken writing me emails and letters (more than twenty emails and about thirty letters to d...

Dang, that's too much work. Just tie a small balloon on the line and be done with it. Wet the line and slide the balloon up or down as needed. Balloons are cheaper (like a buck/100 at the $ Store) , lighter, and easier to cast, and they come in a multitute of colors. keith Nice innovation but if yo...

Did you know that Bill is a professional gambler from Carson City? just kidding ....if he is as competetive at cards as he is at fishing, then he deserves to win. Shane, I'm working on getting some polarized eye protection for the kids next year. Swanee The Carson bunch had a great weekend. Bill an...

Thirty plus poker players, donors, showed up and it was a blast! We've had the pleasure of teaching 77 new students, plus many parents, in the five years of the KA. Each year four or five students return to volunteer. That makes me the proudest.....The kids, get it! Looking forward to next year. The...

Well I wanted to get this conversation started and I'm pleased to see the responses. I apologize for not being more vocal but for the past week I've in the hospital having my arortic valve replaced in my heart so I will admit that my concerns were elsewhere for a time. As someone stated there is no...

Some of the best casters are the worst fishermen. They sling line all over the river casting over fish, scaring fish, and letting it drag all over the river. Casting means nothing if your presentation sucks. When teaching newbies I teach getting in position, proper presentation, a simple roll cast.....

Spent Friday night in Kernville at a poker fundraiser with the SSFF. A few local business owners were present and all of them are tired of the trash and destruction and expressed that several fellow business owners feel the same. This committee is the real deal and hopefully the powers that enforce ...

Was it a commercial rafting company, or just a group of pigs.

By the way, I received a response from the Kernville Chamber. Anyone interested in it, and the attached document, I can PM it to you.

Very large private party.

Pictures of p o o p bags left behind by a large rafting party...I was livid when taking these pictures. Dispersed camping area of course. Shouldn't rafters know better? How do I know they were rafters? Saw them camping on Saturday and went back late Sunday to fish the run after they left. http://i21...

The Kern's my home river. Educate with a constant presence and a big ticket book. Word travels fast among criminals when the "law" is present. Very simple start. I would encourage many letters to the Chamber of Commerce since they have a couple movers and shakers on board who will fight fo...

Recently the Kern Valley Sun has had several local people write in letters expressing their dismay at the situation. My dad has lived in Wofford Heights since the eary eighties and two years ago decided that he won't drive past Kernville until the siutaion is resolved. Many in the local community ar...

Things might be changing on the West Fork. Did anyone here write comment letters on this? Comment letters do make a difference. shane I wrote to the LA Times, and the USFS on the issue. I also got out local Sierra Club Chapter and SOFA (Save Our Forest Assoc) to weigh in as well. That's awesome! I ...
