Redding, CA: Angler’s Paradise!?
August 13, 2007
Redding, California doesn’t usually come to mind in conversations about top-notch fishing destinations, but it should. Whether it’s the world-class rainbow trout fishery below the Sundial Bridge on the Sacramento River (seen here), the huge number of big Chinook salmon that come back to the river each fall, the varied and exciting salmon, trout, bass and panfish possibilities in huge Shasta Lake, California’s largest kokanee in nearby Whiskeytown Reservoir, the salmon and steelhead of the Trinity River or all the classic blue ribbon trout fishing within easy reach at places like Fall River, Baum Lake and Hat Creek, Redding’s got it all.
Check out the latest issue of Western Outdoors Magazine for the in-depth article I did on fishing the Redding area.
And you didn’t consult me once for this research. I’m hurt, man. Hurt.
Not really.
But I do owe you a lunch one of these days.
Who avoids a free lunch, anyway?
Hey, did you see the Journal today?
Skeet Reese seems to be tearing up the bass world, all while based outa your hometown.
Pretty sweet, eh? Yea, Skeet was going to be the subject of my AJ column this week. Oh well…
Ever think it’s not the lunch that’s being avoided?? Ha Ha! Just kidding — a free lunch will be eaten….just figured I’d “keep it in the bank” for awhile. Free lunches earn….what….6% interest or something like that, right? Just waiting for that burger you were going to buy me to turn into a $600 sushi extravaganza!!
