Lower Yuba River cleanup day
 

Greetings fellow flyfishermen!

I'm like to enlist your help in cleaning up one of Norther California's most
visited flyfishing streams -- the Lower Yuba. As part of the California
Coastal Cleanup Day on September 18th, 2004, from 9am-12:00pm, volunteers
from all over will converge on the greater Yuba Watershed to clean up trash,
recyclables, and whatever else we might encounter. I'm hoping to muster the
flyfishing community to get out to the Parks Bar Bridge site and clean up
one of the areas of the river we use the most - the Lower Yuba.

All CleanUp volunteers are invited to a barbeque celebration afterwards at
Memorial Park in Grass Valley featuring food, some quality live music, and,
importantly, beer. It's a great way to get out and do some good for the
river. Also, karmically speaking, it can only enhance your chances of
multiple hookups the next time you visit the river .

All volunteers must pre-register. So please send me an email at
. I'll need the names (and ages if under 18) of all
volunteers.

If you would like to volunteer for one of the many other sites in the Yuba
watershed, please contact Kayle Martin, SYRCL RiverAssistant at
(530)265-5961 x 201 )

Hoping to see a bunch of you out there!

You should have seen that gravel bar on the Yuba, below the bridge
on Hwy.20 below Narrows dam seventy years ago, Sid. Probably 75
prospectors camped there each summer. I'm sure it's a lot more
sanitary now than then. My Grandfather used to go down and talk with
some of the old-timers camped there. I'm pushing 80 now, and use to
play softball in Memorial park in the '30's.

Man, I would like to have seen that. And, yep, you're no doubt right
about the improved sanitation down there these days. Still, what it
lacks in quantity these days, though, it certainly does try to make up
for in, umm, quality. There are something like 20 sites we send crews
to every year for this cleanup day. Every year, we have a contest for
the most interesting bit of trash collected and every year the Parks
Bar site seems to come in first, whether it be for the really quite
stunningly arranged set of marital aids from two years ago, or the
bong constructed from a cow's skull we found last year (that one
actually may have been more art than trash...it's a fine line these
days, as any roff reader can attest).

My Grandfather used to go down and talk with
some of the old-timers camped there. I'm pushing 80 now, and use to

Are you still in the GV\NC area? Come on down for the barbecue
afterwards...be great to hear some stories.

[call to the trash bags on the Yuba River kindly reposted by Bill snipped]

Thanks for reposting that, Bill! It would be great if any NorCal
roffians out there could make it down to the Yuba for the cleanup.

On another note, it's kinda surreal to be blazing through a day's
ration of roff, come across a post that leads with a mildly
s******-inspiring typo ("I'm like" instead of "I'd like") and then
realize it was you who made the typo. O, if only John Denver were here
to comfort me with either a lilting rendition of "This Old Guitar" or
a quick synopsis of how to beat the Ravens' suddenly much improved
nickel coverage!

obroff -- My not-quite-two-year-old reeled in his first bluegill down
at a local pond today using a nifty little TFO 6' two weight I picked
up recently. Even broke off a bigger one when he tried to jackpole it
over his shoulder. The kid's got potential ;-).
