Not a dumb question, Bill. Not asking is dumb..

barbed hooks allowed in this section of the river.  i doubt you'll be able to paddle upstream to the barbless zone from howe.
the barbless section ends at ancil hoffman park SMUD powerlines. anything downstream from there is barby-capable.


Here are the coordinates of the powerlines:

Thanks man, I was trying to figure it out on my own but I don’t know the area so the landmarks aren’t familiar to me.

Also, no non buoyant lures over 1 ounce are allowed to have trebles.  so anything like a spinner or a jig that is more than 1 oz in weight has to have a single hook.

Is that where we're fishing or in the barbless section?

FYI, there will be boaters launching as well, mostly small aluminums..try to be fast or wheel your kayaks to the right of the ramp on the beach. Stuck a nice 17lb. Hen upriver from Howe..there's some big fish coming in gents..don't forget the net and tie good knots. 1oz weights on a 2ft dropper with a 3 and half ft leader to a spinner on a 3wY swivel has been working best for me. Anchored or trolled. U need to be in some good current tho if your gonna back troll Quickfish, or spinners. Roe is always a good option too. 3 days to go!!!

Yes, I'll be there also. Hopefully things will go better for me than it did the last time I was on the river. 

I'll swing by after class to chill for a little while if anyone is still on shore

Dang it! I can't make it this Saturday. Anybody plan on fishing Sunday? Do you guys know a good place to launch at Freeport?
