Fishing Report for Fourth of July Weekend, remember to practice Social Fishtancing

Hello fellow anglers. It is the fourth of July weekend and many areas have opened up for camping and fishing in our area. Due to extreme fire danger, campfires are only allowed in a designated camp area. This does not mean a nice place on the side of the road under the trees or next to a lake or river. If you are caught with an illegal campfire, you may have to make a donation (fine or ticket ) to your local government agency.

Hello fellow anglers. A very happy Father's day to all the dads out there. Spring has sprung and summer is officially starting this Saturday.
