After struggling a good portion of the season fishing different areas on the river, It was nice to make the trip back to the lake with Triton my trusty Pit Bull companion.

Unfortunately, Northern California was impacted by a handful of storms that made certain areas almost impossible to access but one thing I've learned is to always have a backup plan, just in case your local fishing spot is no longer an option.

Normally around this time of year I would be covered in winter clothing and finding ways to keep my hands from freezing but at the time of writing, It was currently 105 degrees with no signs of fish.
