Doug,

I've done this particular float three times. Last May I fly-fished it with my 63 year old dad. He made it, and we fished the Delta the very next morning at 8 AM! This stretch is approximately 40% of the marathon trip from 2002, but still a very long trip.

Bring 1 - 3 rods. There are overhanging trees that can be a pain in the ass.

Grubs in greens, browns, anything w/ chartreuse tail, oxblood, purple, 1/8oz., size 1 or 1/0 hooks will work. Speed traps, rapalas, little rip baits will work too. Spinnerbaits and topwater can nail 'em as well.

Its VERY IMPORTANT to go light. The less gear, the better off you are.

Please give me a call on my cell phone for more details, directions, logistics, etc. (650) 793-0654
