 The Upper American River

Bill Templin with a nice Middle Fork American River brownBill Carnazzo with a nice rainy day Upper American River brownThe April program at the GBF general meeting will spotlight a local fishing venue—the Upper American River: the fishery, the problems, and the re-licensing of Placer County Water Agency’s hydro-generation facilities. Bill Templin and Bill Carnazzo, who regularly fish these canyons, and who have been instrumental in establishing the Upper American River Foundation, will present a program covering the Middle Fork American and its prominent tributaries including the Rubicon River, the North Fork of the Middle Fork, and others. They will pinpoint access points and suggested areas to fish.

 

The program will be in PowerPoint format, with many excellent pictures. They will also discuss the PCWA re-licensing process, which is just beginning, and opportunities for river improvements that will benefit the bugs and the fish — mainly by increasing stream flows and fixing silt-causing problem areas. This is an opportunity for input from anglers on needed improvements, and also an opportunity to fish the watershed and report results to those doing fishery studies for PCWA—in effect, a “monitoring” project for fly fishers.

 

So please join us for this interesting and informative program.  More information about the presenters can be seen at:
