It has been a few months since we last reported. In that time the Valley has been mostly foggy, the foothills and Sierra sunny, with a few heavy rain/snow days mixed in. Unfortunately we are in a dry pattern right now that we will hopefully see the end of soon. I have been following the most recent action and there are some angling opportunities out there. Folsom has been producing good numbers of rainbows. The Delta will produce for those willing to put in the effort. Pyramid continues to impress with good access over the summit recently. All that said, I would like to share my most recent trip south of the border.
