Happy New Year to you all! Got the whiskey and snacks lined up to watch the show in 2025. Winter started out wet and has taken a drier turn lately. With the Holidays and all the activities that go along with them, I have had little chance to wet a line. I did make it out for the traditional New Year's day steelhead float on the American River. Thanks to fellow RTFC members, Jerry and Jim for the motivation. Our number wasn't drawn but a few lucky anglers landed fish around us. We avoided a frigid and/or wet day with some clouds and a few light sprinkles. Always good to spend the day on the water with good friends.

Just a reminder that the International Sportsmen's Expo is right around the corner if you're so inclined to bump elbows with a few thousand of your fellow anglers. The seminar line up looks good and there's always the "cheapish" drinks on opening night.
