101welcomw fishbiker 101welcomw Your not the only one that escaped the clutches of the Calif way of life. I too did find things on the outside world are somewhat cheaper. But I'm still drawn back to Sacramento where my sons live. Only to visit.

Hope you'll have fun here. These guys will help you spend your money and make sure your fishing needs are not substandard.

Life is good

i know what you mean, life is so much more laid back here in wa. don,t get me wrong i loved san diego and the fishing was the best, i had a 33 ft boat in mexico at la salinas marina for years. i also have kids in san diego and a daughter in the bay area, i lived in castro valley for a couple years and used to love going to the delta fishing strippers , also when you start up the hill going over to tahoe there a lillte stream at camp sacramento that was good trout with the fly rod. Thanks for the welcome. fish on!!
