     Alright it’s Lieutenant Commander Bill Wedderburn with the

    California Highway Patrol, Mt. Shasta! I like it best when the CHP visit

    me in my raft out for a day of pure fly fishing fun.

    Remember those old late night ads with “Ponch” selling homes for sale out there in the Big Springs area near Weed, California.

     

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=9932

     Nice trout Bill, really glad you and Julie enjoyed yourselves out on the raft.

     

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=9932

     Catch & Release ~ It’s ok for tourist not to kill wild trout in our local rivers and go out and get some food at one of the many great restaurants in McCloud, Dunsmuir or Mount Shasta area.

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=9932

     Bill’s girlfriend Julie having a “clinic” as she lands 3 trout in a row!

     

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=9932

     What a great day to learn how to fly fish!

     

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=9932

     Kobe Beef sure had a great time on that day, wondering if we’re going tomorrow? By the looks of how many guide trips I’ve done this season, I would have to say “Yes!”

     

    Thank you folks for all your business this past season here in Shasta,

    we couldn’t do it without you. jt & ct

    California legends are molded from inside of ones heart in layers like an artichoke. They are always green inside and out, and are tough characters especially at the tips of their leaves. You can boil them, but it could take a long time to soften them up. Some artichoke’s hearts are never going to give in, because they just aren’t made to be eaten up by the man…

    The artichoke I admire most is the one who has the biggest heart for our environment and doesn’t sit around waiting to be gobbled up by a fat man with mayo..

    That’s why a man like Bob Praetzel needs to be recognized as a true California Legend ~ He’s a Green Artichoke with a huge heart!!

    Glossy drawings and three-dimensional models showed a city unlike anything the Bay Area had ever seen. The original version of Marin-cello envisioned housing 30,000 people on the rugged 2,100-acre site. The plans called for 50 apartment towers, shoals of single-family homes, low rise apartments, and townhouses. There would be 250 acres of light industry, a mile-long central mall with pools and elephant trains, and a square bounded by churches called Brotherhood Plaza. At the summit of the city, on the highest point in the Headlands, would rise a “landmark hotel.” Construction would last 20 years and consume $285 million in 1964 dollars.

    On November 12, 1965, twelve months to the day after the first Frouge news conference, the Marin County Board of Supervisors approved the Marincello master plan, minus a few apartment towers. Some conservationists seemed relieved to be rid of an issue that had puzzled and divided them. But a few opponents kept fighting. They found grounds for legal action in the way the county had rushed approval and muzzled opposition, disqualifying a petition drive to bring the issue up to a countywide vote. A couple of lawsuits were filed.

    Three attorneys labored on this seemingly lost cause: Robert Praetzel of San Rafael, and Martin Rosen and Douglas Ferguson of Sausalito. What drove these men at the time was not so much affection for a threatened place as fear of the precedent so massive a development would set. They were also outraged at the process, the way the county had been swept along. “I got involved not so much for an environmental purpose as a civic purpose,” says Rosen, later a founder of the Trust for Public Land. “I just felt it was terrible that these few people could turn around an entire landscape, and not even consult the local citizens. I was more Jeffersonian than Thoreauvian.”

    On November 2, 1970, Gulf and Frouge settled their quarrel. On the same day, however, a state appellate court ruled on one of the long-running lawsuits against the 1965 development approval. Verdict: the plan must be submitted all over again. “To invalidate a multimillion-dollar development on a technicality is silly,” snapped a counsel for Gulf Oil. Robert Praetzel, whose legal theory was the one that prevailed, still bristles at this. “The technicality was the fact that they didn’t follow the law.”

    Today the Marin Headlands is one of the most visited, most appreciated sections of the GGNRA, itself the most heavily visited national park in the country.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Some folks ask me if your fly fishing as an expert or a beginner is there some luck involved?

    I’d rather rely on being exact with my rigs and guiding locations that way when luck comes around my clients and I are ready!

     My good client Tom Shaddox of 14 years who likes the Padres from San Diego, hooking up on a little Giant in the McCloud River…

    (I was a bad guide that day, when I missed the scoop and the fish left me with poop!) it happens folks, I’m not perfect…

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=9932

     Here, I need to be perfect!!  These rapids I take folks on should only be done if you know the name of the rapids your going through and are a certified licensed and bonded white-water rafting guide.

     

    You have been warn.

     Janene Leonard ladies & gentlemen,

     

    Southern Cal’s hottest fly fishing gal!! She brings here husband Pat along so he doesn’t have to watch Notre Dame football games and he can just relax and count her hook-ups…

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=9932

     What did the trout say?

    “I think the Nevada Wolfpack is going to upset Boise State!”

    “Oregon is going to a place they have never been before..? “

    What is that little trout and how do you know? But before we could get another word out of him he jumped out of Jeans hand and was free!

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=9932

     “Jack Trout, this trip is ok! lot’s of fish landed, great lunch and a talking trout!”

    http://www.mtshasta.com/?p=9932

     Ok, check out this photo very closely. Can you see the spider inside the house it spun for itself? The design on its back is incredible and it was munching on something in its kitchen. If I’m not mistaken doesn’t that design on its back look like a fully decorated cross. The Sky Pilot really did this spider up, that’s better than a tattoo parlor.

     If you buy fly gear or need anything on your travels to the North State I would be so appreciative if you bought all your fly fishing things at the Ted Fay Fly Shop. Bob Grace is one of the nicest guys I know and this is the oldest fly shop in California. It is very important we support little fly shops like this right at the heart of the source of the resource. Bob Grace deserves it, he’s vauble link for honest information and non-bais opinion on where it’s best to fish or not fish. He has all the best equipment for probably less anyway, but more so places like this just don’t exist anywhere and people like Bob Grace and his staff are the most knowledgable, courteous and friendly in the entire North State. I truly have always felt it’s lucky to go into the Ted Fay Fly Shop before you head out, you’ll have Bob or Steven Bertrand’s advice with the Ted Fay luck on your side!

     Really nice trout Bill!! Call me about Oct 22nd with Jack from Texas! He’s always so great to be out on the water with, we had us a real hoot last year!

     

    Thanks,  Trout

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Nice wine selection Bill & Ed, I’ll bring the gourmet lunch, you can bring the wine. Now that’s a way to enjoy the river and really feel the zen of friends, nature, rivers and fly fishing. I think the best part about this sport is how you enjoy it to the fullest, let it age brother, let it age!

     

    It’s not just the hook ups, it’s everything! We get it folks! JTGS

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Oh,the nets completely full theory, I like that theory!

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     Ok folks, get ready! it’s Tim and Jennifer Kardos from Foster City!!! Oh these folks rock, I met them on the river and they told me they had read about me in the SF Chronicle but having a family didn’t  always have $375 to take a trip down the river. So I told them I trade things like fine wines, construction, solar panels, pizzas from Lou Malnati’s Chicago, pastrami sandwiches from Carnegie Deli NY, gold… You know things that are easy to come by if you live by there. Possible a little cash.

    Anyway, if it’s logical, legal and makes sense, I’d probaly do it. My goal is to teach as many people as I can the art of fly fishing and my Trout World. Anyway, so these folks brought me terrific Italian wines, Zins and Pinot’s. They made a list for me so I had the born on dates (Heard that in a beer commercial probably not appropiate.. Are you chewing gum?!)  Bridal ~ Like Sangiovese the region ~ Italy Tuscany 2007

    Baccinetti Rosso di Monttalcino ~ Then they went on to list when the best years to drink these wines I was given. It was so thoughtful and I have learned a lot. I like Italian wines!!  “Wow! If anyone orders the fricking Pinot, I’m out of there!” The thing I like best about Italian wines they gave me were how most were fruity but finished like a meal not green at all or immature.  Other’s I liked were 2002 Villa Mt. Eden zinfadel from Sierra Foothills of Cali. When my buddies from Granzellas came to visit we enjoyed immensely the Pogiarellino Rosso di Montalcino.

    It’s been great to kick back and drick some great wines, I could never get here in Mount Shasta, nor do I time to research.

    Just a thought

     Happy Doggy!! Thanks for all the great emails and help in trying to find this great dog a home. The dog does nothing wrong in the boat and is a real good companion for a home that can watch him for 6 months while I’m in Chile with Carola. I’ll pay for food and trade some trips, but you must have a good yard and a good heart.  jt

    Everyone likes the dog out on the guide trips, I just couldn’t see him end up in the dog pound.

    Union Pacific Trash on Upper Sacramento River

     I would like to thank Union Pacific Railroad for answering my emails

    and a call for help to get all this metal out of the river. (My office)

    This really nice lady Liisa contacted me from Union Pacific and I told them I would take them down next season for free and show them all the metal on the Upper Sacramento because it needs to be removed entirely. It looks like it’s a new era for Union Pacific Railroad, they are really trying to improve.  See you next spring for a 22 miles float trip in my raft down the Upper Sac!! We’ll love it!! I’ll bring Carola and Kobe Beef, you watch! We’re getting the Upper Sac all cleaned up and all the UP metal removed!!! Yahooo Sizzlers!!! This will be the first time since 1894 that metal in the river will be removed by UP!!! I get so excited about it, I can’t wait for next season already! Trout

     

    Jack:  Following up on our conversation, please find my contact information below.

    I look forward to connecting with you in the Spring,

     I really liked all the hard fighting trout we caught that day and the next day was on the Klamath River.

    http://www.mtshasta.com

     We caught some really nice steelhead that day as well as trout on the Klamath River, as though it ended too short.

     

    See you in the spring Jim, we can fish the same 2 rivers again!
