**WINE & SPIRITS FLY SHOP NOW OPEN 1004 MT SHASTA BLVD** Over the rainbow: We start our journey on a drive through the Shasta Valley. How often is it, that a rainbow points in the direction of the adventure ahead! My excitement grew, as I knew another tale was in store, and the pot of gold lie just ahead in the prehistoric canyon known to all as, The Klamath. Jim Crawford K 2004: Jim Crawford with this platinum blond steelhead, was a hit in glamour magazine this week. Jim as usual had a wonderful day with his buddy Rich, and tried to kiss this fish when no one was looking... (I tried that once, but it was like kissing my sister!) Jack Trout 2004 k: Mike Jamison caught this lovely Steelhead named Biffy. She was conservative by nature, but still had her adipose fin, and a wild flair for dancing at the Klamath Disco, all the other steelhead were jealous..... Hug Dohi fish on!: Back on the Sac, Hugh Dohi is fighting a trout out of the raft! My dog Shasta scurries to find the net and scoops the fish up unharmed and hands me the net..... The right bug on the Upper Sac is the Poxy Back Golden Stone size 12 or a size 14 Flashback PT. Pink or Light Cahill size 14 for dry.... Hugh Dohi fish: Hugh Dohi caught this unsuspecting trout that later claimed that he didn't want to be seen on my web site??? hugh dohi 2: Hugh later caught this spunky monkey that didn't care if the whole world saw him naked! Great trip Hugh take care and thanks. JT Zipper Rapid: This is called the Zipper Rapid! This rapid can flip your raft if you're not an experienced rafter. This past week I found a cooler, a nice boat net and a $1000 fly rod rod and reel, all on different days. I highly suggest that anyone trying to copy my trip is a certified licensed rafting expert. Otherwise, I'll find your gear on my next adventure......jt RESPECT THE RIVER OR YOU WILL BE IN IT! USAC Fish On 2004: What a great day I had on the Upper Sac with Jim and Doug Haines! Jim hooked into this trout as we cruised slow near a nice bank on the Upper Sac. JIm had a big smile the entire time! Jim s fish: Jim here, with his trout enlarged to protect the innocent, was more than elated to have his picture taken with his catch. Jim is a very special man, that will be traveling to Peru soon to educate families, authorities and kids on child abuse prevention, corruption and values of modern existence. This guy is kinda of a Saint, and I am happy to say that JIM, YOU'RE MY SIZZLER OF THE WEEK! CONGRATULATIONS SIZZLER!!! GOOD LUCK IN PERU MAY THE SKY PILOT BE WITH YOU ALWAYS! jt usac 2004 RIFFLE: Riffle Mania Sizzlers, Catch It!!!! jt Back Klamath: Wow!
