***INTL SPORTSMAN SHOW SAN MATEO WED TO SUNDAY***

I took this shot on January 25th right before the storm hit the next day. It’s a Mt Shasta Phenomenon that when a Lenticular
cloud appears hovering over the dormant volcano, 90% of the time the area receives some kind of storm or precipitation.
The mountain creates it’s own storms by swirling winds that actually attract these kinds of that clouds that eventually brew up a Mt Shasta Winter, like the one we’re experiencing right now!
In the course of life, we run across many mysteries, the one that looms over the peaks of Mt Shasta can only be answered
by Mother Nature as She looks over all of us and warns us, another storm is coming and that is a miracle of life.

Back on the Klamath the rainbow was out and the fishing was hot! I used my fancy Siskiyou County polarized filter on my camera to really expose the rainbow and make it apear in this picture. (I placed my Maui Jim Sunglasses over the lens)jt

Here’s Rich Artusy out again enjoying himself on the Klamath
River. Fishing continues to be great as the river flows remain perfect for nymphing.

Nice fish Rich! Rich signs up every year with Brad Best for
the Upper Sacramento Rafting Trip. This year I think I will be floating the Upper Sac from May 15th to June 30th.

I always laugh when somebody hooks a big Rainbow Trout near the Cypress Overpass in Redding, California. The lower Sac is very low right now at 5000 CFS. it’s a great time to wade in and try your luck from shore! Gordon here perferred fishing from the boat and was happy to land his first fish ever on a fly rod.

The next day I took Gordon and his friend Eric to the Klamath River for a little Steelhead action. Eric is from France oringally, then moved to Sweden and now resides near
Los Altos. What a great day I had listening to Eric say, “wee
wee!” Everytime Gordon got a hit from a fish on his fly. Eric too enjoyed his first Steelhead on a fly rod.

Jan 22nd Interstate 5 is clear and open!

I was happy to receive a call from an old past customer Named, John Swain. He’s a really character to be out with on the Klamath River along with his friend from Reno Nevada, Kenny. He enjoyed bringing in this nice Steelhead near R Ranch.

What a memorable Steelhead on a Memorable trip. “Look forward to seeing you again John, Had a great time!” CO-SIZZLER OF THE WEEK!!jt

His partner Kenny equally as funny to be around, had a true task trying to get in this lunker! Armed with a cigar in his mouth, he made due and landed the task at hand…

Kenny Congratulations you’re CO-SIZZLER OF THE WEEK!
CONGRATULATIONS SIZZLERS! What a great trip with numerous Steelhead caught on Jan 25th 2004!!! jt

I leave you now with a Sunrise shot of Mt Lassen in the distance and Shasta Lake through the trees that filters rays
of hope that 2004 will be the best year ever! *****HOPE TO SEE YOU THIS WEEK AT THE INTERNATIONAL SPORTSMAN SHOW IN SAN MATEO CALIFORNIA!!! COME DOWN AND LETS TALK FISHING, I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU, IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE WE’VE BEEN BACK AND MYSELF, MIKE HIBBARD AND CHUCK VOLCKHAUSEN AND MODEL EXTRODINARE, ALLI WINKEL!!
