Submitted by Kelsey Penrose on Sat, 03/30/2019 - 8:17am
Hello fellow anglers. Hard to believe that opening day fishing season in California is only four weeks away. One thing we can all plan on is, all the back country lakes and roads will not be open until June or July. The one thing we can count on is the Carson River and a few of the lakes in the Inyo and Mono County area.
Opening day will be on April 27th this year, and with our rain and snow totals, there will be plenty of water everywhere.

These are the amaryllis that my mom has been growing for years. She started with just the red lion amaryllis but recently she got the green amaryllis. Amazingly somehow this bulb that had always grown and bloomed as a red lion is now blooming half and half. We were pleasantly surprised to find such a beauty blossoming in our window.
