I heard a Clear Lake report Saturday morning and it had me thinking of it, and here you post a report. How timely! Thanks for the report and pics.

Hola Ben! Como estas, whey!?

Does the stream in the last pics have a name?
Looks like fun!

I'm curious, can you launch at Fairhaven? Any other places to launch besides the launch ramp in Eureka?

I remember when I moved to Willits and a livestock feed store had a pike minnow bounty/contest. It was easy to win because hardly anyone entered anything. I would go walk the traintracks downstream from Dos Rios and fish the deeper holes I came across. This was summertime. Hot. You could hook a fish or two from a hole full of them and then they would quit. I've since read that one in distress gives off a scent that turns all the others off.
Throwing them up on the bank is not enough. I've done that and have observed them flop back into the water 15 minutes later. Persistent little bastards!

Thanks for the help. I ordered a Huk from the link.

What book is that? Looks interesting.

I read that large releases of water are scheduled starting today. Flood control. I just hope it fills back up.
