Saturday is Free Fishing Day in California

California has two Free Fishing Days associated with holidays this year. The first Free Fishing Day in 2011 is on July 2 (for the Fourth of July) and the second is on September 3 (for Labor Day).

So, on Saturday, July 2, you will be able to fish wherever you like in California, without the need for a fishing license. However, you will need to abide by the rules and regulations that govern whatever water(s) you will be fishing. Be sure to obey those rules and regulations. Don’t do something illegal. If you do, and if you get caught, it could become very embarrassing and expensive.

More importantly, be advised that July 2 is NOT a free fishing day in Nevada. So, don’t try to fish without a license in Nevada or it could cost you a lot of money in front of an unsmiling judge.

If you would like to try your hand at fishing on July 2 in California, and don’t know where to go, here are some Don Q suggestions:

The West Carson River: It is located in Woodfords Canyon and Hope Valley. It will have been planted with a combination of planter-size rainbow trout by the California Department of Fish and Game and some super-size rainbows (up to 6-7-8 pounds) by a private fish hatchery in Susanville, which has been contracted to do so, by the Alpine County Fish and Game Commission.

As a special tip, you might want to fish in the deeper pools and holes downstream from bridges, which are the preferred locations for planting from planter trucks. On Monday, the river was very high, very fast and very muddy.

Upper and Lower Blue Lakes: They are reached by a paved road from S.R. 88 in Hope Valley. Both lakes have rainbow trout. Shore fishermen usually use inflated nightcrawlers and boaters usually troll with flashers and small lures. Weather permitting you could find this area to be super crowded with fishermen, campers, hikers, bicyclists, camp trailers, fifth wheelers, etc.

Caples Lake: It can be reached by a paved road from Chilcoot, which is on S.R. 70, between Hallelujah Junction and Portola. The reservoir has good shore and boat fishing for rainbow trout. If you go there, be sure to stop at Wiggins’ Trading Post in Chilcoot for the latest tips on where to fish and what to use. And, as a special tip, the Trading Post has some of the best ground sausage in the entire area. It makes awesome biscuits and gravy for breakfast.
