I've been interested in going out and laying some traps for some crawdads up in the mountain lakes. I always got the feeling that them being up in cleaner water at altitude the mudbugs would be better tasting. However other folks tell me that the high altitude crawdads have tougher shells, and are more of a pain to cook than their valley cousins. Has anyone tried both and can give me an opinion on which ones are better eating? Now that it's warming up I'd like to get those traps going and see if I can't get a few buckets for the pot. Thanks!

Hey all,
Salmon is starting to show up on the Sac and the American river, and while I'm not new to salmon fishing, I am new to yak fishing for salmon. I was hoping to find someone that lives near by that might want to team up and head out to do some fishing. I'd like to try using Kwikfish and silvertrons/spinners or whatever other methods are effective. Just looking to learn and get onto the fish with someone that's willing to share a little knowledge. I live pretty close to Camp Pollok and can easily launch from there (its free!). PM me if ya are interested.

Also I was hoping that some of ya guys might want to share some methods on river fishing for salmon from a kayak. I'm pretty eager to learn. Any help would be appreciated, or you can point me in the right direction. How do you guys do it? Thanks!

Hey all, I'm  new to the yak fishing community but looking forward to getting out there. I'm out of Sacramento and decided to get a yak to better access the Delta and the local rivers and lakes around here. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you guys and hopefully learning some new things.
